Hello,

Is it expected to get an error when appending a PFL file made of 2 regions [0 - 1M] and [1M to 6M]
even if writing in this range?

I get an error when appending it, even when writting in the very first bytes:

[root@vm0]# lfs setstripe  -E 1M -c 1 -E 6M -c 2 /mnt/lustre/m_fou3

[root@vm0]# lfs getstripe /mnt/lustre/m_fou3
/mnt/lustre/m_fou3
  lcm_layout_gen:    2
  lcm_mirror_count:  1
  lcm_entry_count:   2
    lcme_id:             1
    lcme_mirror_id:      0
    lcme_flags:          init
    lcme_extent.e_start: 0
    lcme_extent.e_end:   1048576
      lmm_stripe_count:  1
      lmm_stripe_size:   1048576
      lmm_pattern:       raid0
      lmm_layout_gen:    0
      lmm_stripe_offset: 3
      lmm_objects:
      - 0: { l_ost_idx: 3, l_fid: [0x100030000:0x9cf:0x0] }

    lcme_id:             2
    lcme_mirror_id:      0
    lcme_flags:          0
    lcme_extent.e_start: 1048576
    lcme_extent.e_end:   6291456
      lmm_stripe_count:  2
      lmm_stripe_size:   1048576
      lmm_pattern:       raid0
      lmm_layout_gen:    0
      lmm_stripe_offset: -1

[root@vm0]# stat -c %s /mnt/lustre/m_fou3
14

* append fails:

[root@vm0]# echo qsdkjqslkdjkj >> /mnt/lustre/m_fou3
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

# strace indicates that write() gets the error:

write(1, "qsdkjqslkdjkj\n", 14)         = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

* no error in case of an open/truncate:

[root@vm0]# echo qsdkjqslkdjkj > /mnt/lustre/m_fou3

OK

Is it expected or should I open a ticket?
