[Lustre-discuss] df -h question

[Michael Kluge]

Dear list,

we are in the process of copying the whole content of a 1.6.7 Lustre FS 
to a 1.8.7 Lustre FS. For this I precreated all individual directories 
on the new FS to set striping information based on the #bytes/#files 
ratio. Then we used a parallel rsync to copy all directories over. All 
of this worked fine. Now, on the old FS the user data consumed 63 TB 
while on the new FS 'df -h' reports only 56 TB as used. I'm sure we 
copied all dirs and all rsyncs finished successfully.

Is this difference expected if one moves from 1.6->1.8? Or did I miss 
something?


Regards, Michael
