[lustre-discuss] MDT filling up

[Thomas Roth]

Hi Artem,

indeed I checked with df.

df -ih
Filesystem     1M-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/drbd0     889M         477M    413M     54%   /srv/mds2

and

df -BM
Filesystem     1M-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/drbd0      1350228M 1165053M    71408M  95% /srv/mds2


So it is not completely full - yet. As I repeated 'df -MB', the free Megabytes were going down, very worrisome.

Unfortunately, I only checked the inode count before, so this might have creeped up over a long time.


Regards,
Thomas
