It looks like the "-N" option is not documented for "lfs setstripe", only for "lfs mirror create". These two commands use the same code in the background, so it makes sense to also document "-N" for setstripe, since this is the command commonly used to set default file layouts on directories.

It looks like you can't set default mirroring with setstripe. I appreciate the lead and the response!

Mirror extend is specifically for modifying individual, existing files. - Patrick ________________________________ From: lustre-discuss <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Mark Roper <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2018 8:36:43 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [lustre-discuss] Lustre 2.11 File Level Replication Hi Lustre Users, I have set up a Lustre 2.11 cluster with multiple OSS's in order to experiment with the File Level Replication feature in Lustre 2.11, which I'm excited about since it raises the bar on availability for cloud deployment of Lustre. I cannot seem to get files created within a directory to inherit the mirror settings from the parent directory, which I thought might be possible given the documentation at http://wiki.lustre.org/File_Level_Replication_High_Level_Design : 'lfs mirror extend [--no-verify] <-N[mirror_count]> [other setstripe options|-f <victim_file>] <file_name> This command will append a replica indicated by setstripe options or just take the layout from existing file victim_file into the file file_name. The file_name must be an existing file but it can be a mirrored or normal file. This command will create new volatile file with any optional setstripe options that are specified, or using the defaults inherited from the parent directory or filesystem.' I was hoping to be able to make all files written to particular directories or within a filesystem inherit a mirror count transparently to the client writing or reading files. Does anyone know if this is possible? Cheers!
