 699       <para>The <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> utility is a simple tool to assist migration of files between Lustre OSTs. The utility copies each specified file to a new file, verifies the file contents have not changed, and then renames the new file to the original filename. This allows balanced space usage between OSTs, moving files of OSTs that are starting to show hardware problems (though are still functional) or OSTs that will be discontinued.</para>
 700       <para>Because <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> is not closely integrated with the MDS, it cannot determine whether a file is currently open and/or in-use by other applications or nodes. This makes it UNSAFE for use on files that might be modified by other applications, since the migrated file is only a copy of the current file. This results in the old file becoming an open-unlinked file and any modifications to that file are lost.</para>
 701       <para>Files to be migrated can be specified as command-line arguments. If a directory is specified on the command-line then all files within the directory are migrated. If no files are specified on the command-line, then a list of files is read from the standard input, making <literal>lfs_migrate</literal> suitable for use with <literal>lfs</literal> find to locate files on specific OSTs and/or matching other file attributes.</para>
 702       <para>The current file allocation policies on the MDS dictate where the new files are placed, taking into account whether specific OSTs have been disabled on the MDS via <literal>lctl</literal> (preventing new files from being allocated there), whether some OSTs are overly full (reducing the number of files placed on those OSTs), or if there is a specific default file striping for the target directory (potentially changing the stripe count, stripe size, OST pool, or OST index of a new file).</para>
