1086       <para>The
1087       <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> utility is a simple tool to assist
1088       migration of files between Lustre OSTs. The utility copies each specified
1089       file to a new file, verifies the file contents have not changed, and then
1090       renames the new file to the original filename. This allows balanced space
1091       usage between OSTs, moving files off OSTs that are starting to show
1092       hardware problems (though are still functional) or OSTs that will be
1093       discontinued.</para>
1094       <warning>
1095         <para>For versions of Lustre before 2.5,
1096         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> is not closely integrated with the MDS,
1097         it cannot determine whether a file is currently open and/or in-use by
1098         other applications or nodes. This makes it UNSAFE for use on files that
1099         might be modified by other applications, since the migrated file is
1100         only a copy of the current file. This results in the old file becoming
1101         an open-unlinked file and any modifications to that file are
1102         lost.</para>
1103       </warning>
1104       <para>Files to be migrated can be specified as command-line arguments. If
1105       a directory is specified on the command-line then all files within the
1106       directory are migrated. If no files are specified on the command-line,
1107       then a list of files is read from the standard input, making

1110       matching other file attributes.</para>
1111       <para>The current file allocation policies on the MDS dictate where the
1112       new files are placed, taking into account whether specific OSTs have been
1113       disabled on the MDS via
1114       <literal>lctl</literal>(preventing new files from being allocated there),
1115       whether some OSTs are overly full (reducing the number of files placed on
1116       those OSTs), or if there is a specific default file striping for the
1117       target directory (potentially changing the stripe count, stripe size, OST
1118       pool, or OST index of a new file).</para>
1119       <note>
1120         <para>The
1121         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> utility can also be used in some cases to
1122         reduce file
1123         <indexterm>
1124           <primary>fragmentation</primary>
1125         </indexterm>fragmentation. File fragmentation will typically reduce
1126         Lustre file system performance. File fragmentation may be observed on
1127         an aged file system and will commonly occur if the file was written by
1128         many threads. Provided there is sufficient free space (or if it was
1129         written when the file system was nearly full) that is less fragmented
1130         than the file being copied, re-writing a file with
1131         <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> will result in a migrated file with
1132         reduced fragmentation. The tool
1133         <literal>filefrag</literal> can be used to report file fragmentation.
