I wouldn’t mind seeing the mdt index be listed in the getstripe output 
regardless of whether or not the file had a DoM component.  That way I wouldn't 
have to run "lfs getstripe --mdt" separately to get that info.  But the current 
getstripe output seems to closely mimic the internal data structure of the 
layout, so adding the mdt index would somewhat deviate from that.  I don't know 
if that would be considered undesirable or not.

Would it be reasonable to change the output of lfs getstripe to have the mdtidx 
reflected in the lmm_stripe_offset field? I have noticed that for DoM 
components the value is always 0. It would make sense as the stripe_offset is 
normally the OST index where striping starts for that component, and for DoM 
components it could indicate the MDT where the striping starts and ends for the 
component. This would add a bit of value to the lfs getstripe command without 
adding extra lines. The following lfs getstripe output is for a file that 
llapi_file_fget_mdtidx() reports that the mdtidx is 3.
