<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We have a lustre system (version 2.10.4) that has unfortunately fallen victim to a 100% full OST... Every time we clear some space on it, the system fills it right back up again.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I have looked around the internet and found you can disable an OST, but when I have tried that, any writes (including deletes) to the OST hang the clients indefinitely. Does anyone know a way to make an OST basically
"read-only" with the exception of deletes so we can work to clear out the OST? Or better yet, a way to "drain" or move files off an OST with a script (keeping in mind it might not be known if the files are in use at the time). Or even a way to tell lustre
"Hey don't write any new data here, but reading and removing data is OK."</p>
