Subject: Re: [HPDD-discuss] Any issues in leaving deleted OST's as is, without
writeconf
Indeed, if you make sure the OST is deactivated on your MDT as well as on all clients, it
will not bother your filesystem.
We have an old cluster that is slowly shut down by emptying OSTs and switching off their
OSS - I believe we have many more deactivated OSTs now than active ones. No trouble to be
seen.

Thomas

Dear All,
Based on my reading: shutting down the file system including
un-mounting clients, MDT/MGS, and OST and then performing a writeconf would clear this
permanently removed OST.
Question: I believe and also do not see any issue in continuing to run
the file system without having to shut down until the next scheduled maintenance, to run
writeconf and hence to clear deleted OST's from being listed on MDS. Do I get this
right?
Please advise.
Thank you,
