The files reported in .lustre/lost+found *ARE* the objects on the OSTs (at least when accessed through a Lustre mountpoint, not if accessed directly on the MDT mounted as ldiskfs), so when they are deleted the space on the OSTs will be freed.
As for identification, the OST objects do not have any name information, but they should have UID/GID/PROJID and timestamps that might help identification.

I can run ’stat’ on them and get some info. Is there anything else I can do to tell what these were? Is it safe to delete them? Is there anyway to tell if there are matching files on the OST(s) that also need to be deleted? — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 10, 2023, at 3:44 PM, Vicker, Darby J.

Please take care when clicking links or opening attachments. Use the "Report Message" button to report suspicious messages to the NASA SOC. Hello Andreas, lfs df -i reports 19,204,412 inodes used. When I did the full robinhood scan, it reported scanning 18,673,874 entries, so fairly close. I don’t have a .lustre directory at the filesystem root. Another interesting aspect of this particular issue is I can run lctl lfsck and every time I get: layout_repaired: 1468299 But it doesn’t seem to be actually repairing anything because if I run it again, I’ll get the same or a similar number. I run it like this: lctl lfsck_start -t layout -t namespace -o -M lfsc-MDT0000 — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 10, 2023, at 10:47 AM, Andreas Dilger <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There is a $ROOT/.lustre/lost+found that you could check. What does "lfs df -i" report for the used inode count? Maybe it is RBH that is reporting the wrong count? The other alternative would be to mount the MDT filesystem directly as type ZFS and see what df -i and find report?

I still get the same numbers. The only thing I can think is somehow the count is correct, despite the huge difference. Robinhood and find show about 1.7M files, dirs, and links. The quota is showing a bit over 3.1M inodes used. We only have one MDS and MGS. Any ideas where the discrepancy may lie? Orphans? Is there a lost+found area in lustre? — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 10, 2023, at 8:24 AM, Daniel Szkola <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Robert, Thanks for the response. Do you remember exactly how you did it? Did you bring everything down at any point? I know you can do this: lctl conf_param fsname.quota.mdt=none but is that all you did? Did you wait or bring everything down before reenabling? I’m worried because that allegedly just enables/disables enforcement and space accounting is always on. Andreas stated that quotas are controlled by ZFS, but there has been no quota support enabled on any of the ZFS volumes in our lustre filesystem. — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 10, 2023, at 2:17 AM, Redl, Robert <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dear Dan, I had a similar problem some time ago. We are also using ZFS for MDT and OSTs. For us, the used disk space was reported wrong. The problem was fixed by switching quota support off on the MGS and then on again.

In our case, there is a single MDS/MDT.

For ldiskfs/ext4 you could run e2fsck to re-count all of the inode and block usage. For ZFS you would have to ask on the ZFS list to see if there is some way to re-count the quota usage. The "inode" quota is accounted from the MDTs, while the "block" quota is accounted from the OSTs. You might be able to see with "lfs quota -v -g group" to see if there is one particular MDT that is returning too many inodes. Possibly if you have directories that are striped across many MDTs it would inflate the used inode count. For example, if every one of the 426k directories reported by RBH was striped across 4 MDTs then you would see the inode count add up to 3.6M. If that was the case, then I would really, really advise against striping every directory in the filesystem. That will cause problems far worse than just inflating the inode quota accounting.

All indications are we have accounts where files were removed and this is not reflected in the used file count in the quota. The space used seems correct but the inodes used numbers are way high. There must be a way to clear these numbers and have a fresh count done. — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 4, 2023, at 11:37 AM, Daniel Szkola via lustre-discuss <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Also, quotas on the OSTS don’t add up to near 3 million files either: [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode0 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 0 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 1394853459 0 1913344192 - 132863 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode0 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 1 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 1411579601 0 1963246413 - 120643 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode1 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 2 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 1416507527 0 1789950778 - 190687 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode1 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 3 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 1636465724 0 1926578117 - 195034 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode2 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 4 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 2202272244 0 3020159313 - 185097 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode2 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 5 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 1324770165 0 1371244768 - 145347 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode3 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 6 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 2892027349 0 3221225472 - 169386 0 0 - [root@lustreclient scratch]# ssh ossnode3 lfs quota -g somegroup -I 7 /lustre1 Disk quotas for grp somegroup (gid 9544): Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace 2076201636 0 2474853207 - 171552 0 0 - — Dan Szkola FNAL On Oct 4, 2023, at 8:45 AM, Daniel Szkola via lustre-discuss <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: No combination of ossnodek runs has helped with this.
