[lustre-discuss] "no space on device"

Hi Lana,

Lustre dispatches the data across several servers, MDTs and OSTs. It is likely that one of this OST is full.
To see the usage per sub-component, you should check:

lfs df -h
lfs df -ih

See if this reports one OSTs or MDT is full.

I have a Lustre 2.12 setup running on CentOS 7.  It has been working fine for some months but last night one of my users tried to untar a large file, which (among other things) created a single directory containing several million subdirectories.  At that point the untar failed, reporting "no space on device".  All attempts to create a file on this Lustre system now produce the same error message, but "df" and "df -i" indicate there is plenty of space and inodes left.  I checked the mount point on the metadata node and it appears to have plenty of space left too.

I can list directories and view files on this filesystem.  I can delete files or directories on it.  But even after removing a few files and a directory I cannot create a new file.

If anyone can offer some help here it would be appreciated.
