Maybe that clears it up?
Well yes ok, but what about the sizes of the partitions ? The docs present an example calculating the inode space needed on an 'MDS'. (3.2.2 Calculating MDS Size) That what actually confuses me a bit. So when the MDS partitions holds the inodes of the lustre system what will be the partition size of the MDT device ? Or should it read 'MDT' partition size in the docs and the MDS partition size doesn't matter at all ?
