This adds the lfs migrate recommendation/example that was removed along with the Gordon-Bell guide (#240).

This also adds an example to recursively update all files in a directory (finding files using lfs find).

@mpasserini can you or someone else from the storage team comment if you think these are ok recommendations. For example:

  • (this already exists) do you think the recommended block sizes and progressive layouts are sane recommendations?
  • Are there any concerns with using e.g. xargs -P to migrate files in parallel (the example is currently sequential which can be slow, but I'm not sure if doing a parallel lfs migrate adds unnecessarily high load on lustre)?

Note that I changed the short options (-c/-S/-E) to long options as I find that it's easier to follow for someone like me who doesn't know the options by heart. However, the commands do end up being longer (wider than the regular page, and require scrolling), and I'm happy to change that back (it's not the important part of this PR).

I'm not attempting to move or restructure the storage guide otherwise.
