SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audit Lustre project quota usage and reconcile du results with authoritative lfs quota to surface hidden consumption, prevent miscounts, and inform cleanup planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel per-root du audit across multiple roots to accumulate accurate usage tallies.
  • Cross-check with lfs quota to validate per-user and per-project totals.
  • Identify and classify cleanup candidates by ownership and urgency, including common landmines.

Quick Start

Run the Lustre storage audit workflow on your project to generate per-root du totals and reconcile them with lfs quota, then review any reported gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions about lustre-storage-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my Lustre storage audit show different results between du and lfs quota?

Discrepancies occur because du miscounts hidden consumption like symlinks and owner-only subdirectories. Reconciling du results with authoritative lfs quota validates per-user and per-project totals to surface these gaps and prevent miscounts.

How do I audit Lustre project quota usage across multiple roots?

Run a parallel per-root du audit across multiple roots to accumulate accurate usage tallies. This generates off-quota audit outputs and per-user quota checks for comprehensive capacity monitoring and cleanup planning.

What is the best way to identify cleanup candidates on Lustre filesystems?

Identify cleanup candidates by classifying them according to ownership and urgency after reconciling du totals with lfs quota. This surfaces common landmines and generates categorized cleanup recommendations for storage campaigns.

Can I check per-user quota limits and usage on Lustre project roots?

Yes, you can check per-user quota by cross-referencing du results with authoritative lfs quota data. This validates per-user and per-project totals across Lustre project roots to ensure accurate capacity monitoring.

Does the Lustre audit workflow handle symlinks and owner-only subdirectories?

Yes, the Lustre audit workflow explicitly accounts for symlinks and owner-only subdirectories to prevent miscounts. It reconciles these hidden consumption elements with lfs quota data to surface accurate per-root du totals.
