What is the default block size for Lustre? How do I determine which Lustre server (MDS/OST) was connected to a particular storage device?

How can I check if a filesystem is active (the MGS, MDT and OSTs are all online)? You can look at /proc/fs/lustre/lov/*/target_obds for "ACTIVE" vs "INACTIVE" on MDS/clients. How to reclaim the 5 percent of disk space reserved for root? If your filesystem normally looks like this: $ df -h /mnt/lustre Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on databarn 100G 81G 14G 81% /mnt/lustre You might be wondering: where did the other 5 percent go? This space is reserved for the root user. Currently, all Lustre installations run the ext3 filesystem internally on service nodes. By default, ext3 reserves 5 percent of the disk for the root user. To reclaim this space for use by all users, run this command on your OSSs: tune2fs [-m reserved_blocks_percent] [device] This command takes effect immediately. You do not need to shut down Lustre beforehand or restart Lustre afterwards. Why are applications hanging? The most common cause of hung applications is a timeout. For a timeout involving an MDS or failover OST, applications attempting to access the disconnected resource wait until the connection is re-established. In most cases, applications can be interrupted after a timeout with the KILL, INT, TERM, QUIT, or ALRM signals. In some cases, for a command which communicates with multiple services in a single system call, you may have to wait for multiple timeouts. Appendix D Lustre Knowledge Base D-3
