Has anyone had recent experience resizing a ldiskfs-backed MDT using the resize2fs tool? We may be purchasing a small lustre file system in the near future with the expectation that it could grow considerably over time. Since we don’t have a clear idea of how many inodes we might need in the future, I wanted to consider options that would allow us to potentially expand the MDT capacity over time. (Of course, using ZFS would allow us to easily expand capacity, but I do have some concern about metadata performance. Also, we will likely need to use project quotas which as far I remember is not available for ZFS at the moment .)
