1093       <para>The
1094       <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> utility is a simple tool to assist
1095       migration of files between Lustre OSTs. The utility copies each specified
1096       file to a new file, verifies the file contents have not changed, and then
1097       renames the new file to the original filename. This allows balanced space
1098       usage between OSTs, moving files off OSTs that are starting to show
1099       hardware problems (though are still functional) or OSTs that will be
1100       discontinued.</para>
1101       <warning>
1102         <para>For versions of Lustre before 2.5,
1103         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> is not closely integrated with the MDS,
1104         it cannot determine whether a file is currently open and/or in-use by
1105         other applications or nodes. This makes it UNSAFE for use on files that
1106         might be modified by other applications, since the migrated file is
1107         only a copy of the current file. This results in the old file becoming
1108         an open-unlinked file and any modifications to that file are
1109         lost.</para>
1110       </warning>
1111       <para>Files to be migrated can be specified as command-line arguments. If
1112       a directory is specified on the command-line then all files within the
1113       directory are migrated. If no files are specified on the command-line,
1114       then a list of files is read from the standard input, making
1115       <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> suitable for use with
1116       <literal>lfs</literal> find to locate files on specific OSTs and/or
1117       matching other file attributes.</para>
1118       <para>The current file allocation policies on the MDS dictate where the
1119       new files are placed, taking into account whether specific OSTs have been
1120       disabled on the MDS via
1121       <literal>lctl</literal>(preventing new files from being allocated there),
1122       whether some OSTs are overly full (reducing the number of files placed on
1123       those OSTs), or if there is a specific default file striping for the
1124       target directory (potentially changing the stripe count, stripe size, OST
1125       pool, or OST index of a new file).</para>
1126       <note>
1127         <para>The
1128         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> utility can also be used in some cases to
1129         reduce file
1130         <indexterm>
1131           <primary>fragmentation</primary>
1132         </indexterm>fragmentation. File fragmentation will typically reduce
1133         Lustre file system performance. File fragmentation may be observed on
1134         an aged file system and will commonly occur if the file was written by
1135         many threads. Provided there is sufficient free space (or if it was
1136         written when the file system was nearly full) that is less fragmented
1137         than the file being copied, re-writing a file with
1138         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> will result in a migrated file with
1139         reduced fragmentation. The tool
1140         <literal>filefrag</literal> can be used to report file fragmentation.

1317       offset order. If the file logical offset order was used, the Lustre
1318       striping would make the output very verbose and difficult to see if there

1606     <para>Timeouts are the most common cause of hung applications. After a
1607     timeout involving an MDS or failover OST, applications attempting to access
1608     the disconnected resource wait until the connection gets
1609     established.</para>
1610     <para>When a client performs any remote operation, it gives the server a
1611     reasonable amount of time to respond. If a server does not reply either due
1612     to a down network, hung server, or any other reason, a timeout occurs which
1613     requires a recovery.</para>
1614     <para>If a timeout occurs, a message (similar to this one), appears on the
1615     console of the client, and in
1616     <literal>/var/log/messages</literal>:</para>
