EXAMPLES

$ lfs setstripe /mnt/lustre/file1 131072 -1 2

This creats a file striped on two OSTs with 128kB on each stripe.

$ lfs setstripe -d /mnt/lustre/dir

This deletes a default stripe pattern on dir. New files will use the default striping pattern created therein.

$ lfs find /mnt/lustre/file1

Lists the object allocation of a given file

$ lfs find /mnt/lustre/

Lists the object allocationss of all files in a given directory

$ lfs find -r /mnt/lustre/

Recursively list the objects of all files in a given directory tree

$ lfs find -r --obd OST2-UUID /mnt/lustre/

Recursively list all files in a given directory that have objects on OST2-UUID.

$ lfs quotachown -i /mnt/lustre

Change file owner and group

$ lfs quotacheck -ug /mnt/lustre

Quotacheck for user and group - will turn on quotas after making the check.

$ lfs quotaon -ug /mnt/lustre

Turn quotas of user and group on

$ lfs quotaoff -ug /mnt/lustre

Turn quotas of user and group off

$ lfs setquota -u bob 0 1000000 0 10000 /mnt/lustre

Set quotas of user `bob': 1GB block quota and 10,000 file quota

$ lfs quota -u bob /mnt/lustre
