[lustre-discuss] free space on ldiskfs vs. zfs

[Götz Waschk]

Dear All,

I'm sorry, I cannot provide verbose zpool information anymore. I was a
bit in a hurry to put the file system into production and that's why I
have reformatted the servers with ldiskfs.

I was comparing the Lustre file system size from the two
configurations, the space available for user data. I expected it to be
the same, that is 218T for both file systems.

I understand that you have the same issue.
