LCTL-POOL_NEW(8)

NAME
lctl-pool_new - create a new OST pool

SYNOPSIS
lctl pool_new <fsname>.<poolname>

DESCRIPTION
Create a list of OSTs with the name poolname in the filesystem named fsname. The lctl pool_new command must be run on the MGS node and can only be used by the root user. If the MGS is on a separate node from the MDS, a Lustre client must be mounted while the lctl commands are being run. This named list of OSTs can be used by lfs-setstripe(1) to specify the OSTs on which new files can be created, and lfs-find(1) to locate files that were created on the specified pool. As well, lfs-df(1) can show only the free space or inodes in a named pool.

EXAMPLES

# lfs pool_new testfs.local
    Create a pool named local in the testfs filesystem.

# lfs pool_add testfs.local 12 13 14
    Add OSTs numbered 12, 13, and 14 to the testfs.local pool.
