[lustre-discuss] confused about mdt space

[肖正刚]

Thanks a lot.
I have two more questions:
1) Assume I consider the mdt space use the method described in lustre
manual, by calculation, the metadata space is 400GB.
After format(default option), about 160GB(40% of 400GB) preallocated for
inodes, so the avalaible inodes number is less than estimated, right ?
2) mds need additional space for other use, like log,acls,xattrs；how to
estimate these space ?

Thanks!
