<div>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am still learning Lustre and I have run into an issue. I have referred to both the Lustre admin manual and Google, but I've had no luck in finding the answer. We are using Lustre 2.8.0.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had an OST fill due to a single large file. I took the OST offline via the lctl deactivate command to prevent new files from being created on the OST. While the OST was deactivated, the user deleted the file. Now it appears the metadata
is gone from the MDS (which makes sense), but the data chunks on the OST remain even after I reactivated the OST.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe that running lfsck would resolve this issue, but I am not sure if I should run it on the MDS or the OST? If this is the fix, what options would I need to use?<o:p></o:p></p>
