Hi Nirmal,

I think that you can use the same mechanisms to set distribution parameters in 1.5.1 as in our newer releases.

There is some information here about how to set the strip size at run time for a particular directory (no need to recompile):

http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/browse/PVFS/doc/pvfs2-tuning.tex?r=1.2#l208

You can also set a default for the whole file system in your server configuration file by adding a section that looks like this into your <Filesystem> section:

    <Distribution>
        Name simple_stripe
        Param strip_size
        Value 4194304
    </Distribution>

Hello

I am using PVFS2-1.5.1 and as far as I know, to modify the default
stripe size of PVFS2, I must modify the header
include/pvfs2-dist-simple-stripe.h .

Strangely , I did so and rebuilt the source, yet the pvfs2-viewdist
still shows me the default striping for any new files created with the
modified pvfs2 build!
