[lustre-discuss] resize2fs to get more inodes on MDT

[Ben Evans]

I've seen this happen once in production (with something like 2B files).

If you can do the resize2fs, and expand, I think that will work (others should chime in here), but I'd definitely do a backup first, as well as doing an fsck.

Finally, create some sort of sensor that keeps track of inodes on both the MDT and the OSTs.  Running out is a bad thing.

Hey Folks,
	We mis-sized out MDT and ran out of inodes.  What is the sanctioned method of getting more inodes?  Would a resize2fs suffice (we have plenty of extents left in the VG hosting the MDT) or would we need to backup and migrate to a new MDT with more inodes right off the bat?
