[Lustre-discuss] completely emptying an OST

We may need to completely empty an OST, so that we can more efficiently 
format the underlying RAID-6 array (in light of recent discussions about 
the stripe on this list).  What is the most efficient way to do this?  I 
can use multiple clients running lfs_migrate from pre-prepared lists, 
but that will likely be a relatively slow process.  Are there other, 
perhaps better ways to do this?

Thanks,
bob
