Description

lfs ost - does not make a network request to report the status, it uses cached values. The clients will communicate independently with the cluster, (sending a ping to OSTs, for example) every 30 seconds or so to refresh their cache.

lfs check ost - makes a RPC against the server during the course of the command.
