Re: [HPDD-discuss] Strange Issue, No space left, where there actually over 500TB

Just to clarify, when I spoke of “redistributing data”, I was just talking about restriping the file. If a file is actively being used, you probably should not try to restripe it (unless you are positive that the file is only being read and not written). To restripe a file, you just create a new file with a different stripe count and then copy the data: lfs setstripe -c $new_stripe_count NEW_FILE cp OLD_FILE NEW_FILE mv NEW_FILE OLD_FILE If the file is actively being written, then you run the risk that some data won’t be copied. -- Rick Mohr Senior HPC System Administrator National Institute for Computational Sciences http://www.nics.tennessee.edu
