It shouldn't - the obdfilter-survey uses a different object sequence (2)
compared to normal filesystem objects (currently always 0), so the two do
not collide.

New subject: [Lustre-discuss] will obdfilter-survey destroy an already formatted file system
Michael,
Unfortunately, the current Lustre Ops Manual indicates the opposite. From
section 24.3 "Testing OST Performance (obdfilter_survey)":
"The obdfilter_survey script is destructive and should not be run on
devices that containing existing data that needs to be preserved. Thus,
tests using obdfilter_survey should be run before the Lustre file system
is placed in production."
I opened LUDOC-146 to track the issue previously and updated the details
to include Andreas' explanation.
Thanks,
-Cory
