Hi Anna,
Beyond the number and size of OSTs and MDTs there isn't much information about 
the underlying storage available on the client.

The "lfs df -v" command will print a "f" at the end for flash (non-rotational) 
devices, if the storage is properly configured.  The "osc*.imports " parameter 
file will contain some information about the grant_block_size that can be used 
to distinguish ldiskfs (4096) vs. zfs backends (131072 or 1048576).

The size of the disks can often be inferred from 1/8 of the total OST size for 
standard 8+2 RAID configs, but this may vary and no actual device-level metrics 
are available on the client.

Even on the server, Lustre itself doesn't know or care much about the 
underlying storage devices beyond (non-)rotational state, so we don't track any 
of that.

Cheers, Andreas

 Hi,

is it possible for a user (no root, so ssh to server) to find out the 
configuration of an OST?
How many devices are there in one OST 'pool' (for both ldiskfs and ZFS) and 
even which type of devices they are (nvme, ssd, hdd)? Maybe even speeds and 
raid-levels?

Additionally, how can a user find out the mapping of all available OSTs to OSSs 
easily?

Thanks
Anna
