[Lustre-discuss] Lustre client error

[Cliff White]

Client situation depends on where you deactivated the OST - if you
deactivate on the MDS only,
clients should be able to read.

What is best to do when an OST fills up really depends on what else you are
doing at the time, and
how much control you have over what the clients are doing and other things.
If you can solve the space issue with a quick rm -rf, best to leave it
online, likewise if all your clients are
trying to bang on it and failing, best to turn things off. YMMV
