[Lustre-discuss] Permanently delete OST

[Larry Brown]

For some reason this eludes my searches through the archives.  I keep
seeing documentation on how to deactive the OST and copy files off it.
In the manual it states removal of the OST permanently can be
accomplished with:

lctl conf_param <OST name>.osc.active=0

I have run this and in the proc info I now see active is now set to 0.
However it still exists in proc and when running lfs df it shows there
as an inactive device. 

I'm wanting it removed from existence.  The OST no longer physically
exists yet I am haunted by its persistence on the MGS/MDT.

TIA,

Larry
