[lustre-discuss] lustre 2.5.3 ost not draining

[Patrick Farrell]

That sounds like a separate issue, where people are filling the OST quickly.

Like I said, freed space will not be visible until the OST is active 
(and I think it might need to be active for a little while).

I then set it back online this morning using lctl --device <device num> activate  I let it sit in active mode for almost an hour, but then I noticed that the used space had gone up significantly on the ost, so I set it offline again using the above command to prevent it from reaching 100%

I set them to read only, and yesterday I started an lfs_migrate on one of them, hoping to drain it down overnight.  This morning, after the system spent about 12 hours moving files off of it, I set it to read-write mode.  I expected to see the usage drop, but it has yet to do so... after almost 30minutes in read-write mode.
