14.8.3. Removing an OST from the File System

If there is not expected to be a replacement for this OST in the near future, permanently deactivate the OST on all clients and the MDS:

[mgs]# lctl conf_param ost_name.osc.active=0

However, after reboot, the OST would become active "UP" again while it should be always inactive "IN".
