Hello everyone, We have drained some of our OSS/OSTs and plan to deactivate them soon. The process ahead leads us to a couple of questions that we hope somebody can advise us on.
Scenario We have fully drained the target OSTs using * 'lfs find'* to identify all files located on the targets and then feeding the list to '*lfs migrate*. ' A final scan shows there are no files left on the targets. Questions 1) Running '*lfs df -h'* still shows some space being used even though we have drained all of the data. Is that normal? i.e. UUID bytes Used Available Use% Mounted on hydra-OST0010_UUID 84.7T 583.8M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:16] hydra-OST0011_UUID 84.7T 581.4M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:17] hydra-OST0012_UUID 84.7T 581.7M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:18] hydra-OST0013_UUID 84.7T 582.4M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:19] hydra-OST0014_UUID 84.7T 584.1M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:20] hydra-OST0015_UUID 84.7T 583.4M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:21] hydra-OST0016_UUID 84.7T 583.6M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:22] hydra-OST0017_UUID 84.7T 581.8M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:23] hydra-OST0018_UUID 84.7T 582.6M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:24] hydra-OST0019_UUID 84.7T 582.7M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:25] hydra-OST001a_UUID 84.7T 580.0M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:26] hydra-OST001b_UUID 84.7T 580.4M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:27] hydra-OST001c_UUID 84.7T 582.1M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:28] hydra-OST001d_UUID 84.7T 583.2M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:29] hydra-OST001e_UUID 84.7T 583.7M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:30] hydra-OST001f_UUID 84.7T 587.7M 80.5T 1% /dfs/hydra[OST:31] 2) According to some comments, prior to deactivating the OSS/OSTs, we should add the *'lazystatfs'* option to all of our client mounts so that they do not hang once we deactivate some of the OSTs. Is that correct? If so, why would you not just always have that option set? What are the ramifications of doing it well in advance of the OST deactivations? Thanks in advance for feedback, Mike
