33.2 Maximum Stripe Size For a 32-bit machine, the product of stripe size and stripe count (stripe_size * stripe_count) must be less than 2^32. The ext3 limit of 2TB for a single file applies for a 64-bit machine. (Lustre can support 160 stripes of 2 TB each on a 64-bit system.) 33.3 Minimum Stripe Size Due to the 64 KB PAGE_SIZE on some 64-bit machines, the minimum stripe size is set to 64 KB. 33.4 Maximum Number of OSTs and MDTs You can set the maximum number of OSTs by a compile option. The limit of 1020 OSTs in Lustre release 1.4.7 is increased to a maximum of 8150 OSTs in 1.6.0. Testing is in progress to move the limit to 4000 OSTs. The maximum number of MDSs will be determined after accomplishing MDS clustering. 33.5 Maximum Number of Clients Currently, the number of clients is limited to 131072. We have tested up to 22000 clients. 33-2 Lustre 1.6 Operations Manual • September 2008
33.6 Maximum Size of a Filesystem For i386 systems with 2.6 kernels, the block devices are limited to 16 TB. Each OST or MDT can have a filesystem up to 8 TB, regardless of whether 32-bit or 64-bit kernels are on the server. (For 2.6 kernels, the 8 TB limit is imposed by ext3). Currently, testing is underway to allow filesystems up to 16 TB. You can have multiple OST filesystems on a single node. Currently, the largest production Lustre filesystem has 448 OSTs in a single filesystem. There is a compiletime limit of 8150 OSTs in a single filesystem, giving a theoretical filesystem limit of nearly 64 PB. Several production Lustre filesystems have around 200 OSTs in a single filesystem. The largest filesystem in production is at least 1.3 PB (184 OSTs). All these facts indicate that Lustre would scale just fine if more hardware is made available. 33.7 Maximum File Size Individual files have a hard limit of nearly 16 TB on 32-bit systems imposed by the kernel memory subsystem. On 64-bit systems this limit does not exist. Hence, files can be 64-bits in size. Lustre imposes an additional size limit of up to the number of stripes, where each stripe is 2 TB. A single file can have a maximum of 160 stripes, which gives an upper single file limit of 320 TB for 64-bit systems. The actual amount of data that can be stored in a file depends upon the amount of free space in each OST on which the file is striped. 33.8 Maximum Number of Files or Subdirectories in a Single Directory Lustre uses the ext3 hashed directory code, which has a limit of about 25 million files. On reaching this limit, the directory grows to more than 2 GB depending on the length of the filenames. The limit on subdirectories is the same as the limit on regular files in all later versions of Lustre due to a small ext3 format change. In fact, Lustre is tested with ten million files in a single directory. On a properlyconfigured dual-CPU MDS with 4 GB RAM, random lookups in such a directory are possible at a rate of 5,000 files / second. Chapter 33 System Limits 33-3
