Hi, While trying to explore the PVFS2 striping features using the 'setfattr' and distribution parameters (like type of stripe, stripe-size, etc), the examples I came across mostly deal with setting the striping distribution parameters (simple-stripe, etc) on a directory basis. So if we set the distribution parameters for a directory, all files created on that directory (after the striping distribution parameters have been set) will be striped identically.
But let's say I want to stripe a file A in directory X using a simple-stripe and strip length of 64KB and want to stripe a different file B in the same directory X using a simple-stripe and strip length of 5KB, etc (since each data file may have different record lengths, I would like to stripe them based on a multiple of the record lenght)... would I achieve this by setting each file's extended attributes with the desired values ? Is it possible to do striping in PVFS2 on a per-file basis as mentioned above and if so, are there links to any documents / examples out there? Thanks a lot for your help in advance, Novice
