Thank you again Rick.
One last question, How safe is lfs_migrate? The man page on the installation says it's UNSAFE for possibly in-use files. The lustre manual doesn't have the same warning and says something about it being a bit more integrated with the MDS.
http://doc.lustre.org/lustre_manual.xhtml#dbdoclet.lfs_migrate
How safe do you think this would be to run on some files on the OST with it disabled on the MDS and active jobs running on the cluster? I could do this by group, possibly to mitigate concerns of open files, if need be.

The Lustre manual has a section on removing MDTs/OSTs:
