Hi Rick,
I thought what I had done was disable it on the MDS, but perhaps I was
following the wrong instructions. Do you know where the best instructions for
what you are describing can be found? I would be willing to try again.

What command did you use to disable the OST?
There is a way to disable the OST on all the clients, but there is also a way
to deactivate it on the MDS. The latter method should prevent the MDS from
allocating any new files to the OST, but still allow clients to read and delete
files on that OST.
