Ricardo, what version of PVFS2 are you using?

Without getting into the underlying data structures, you could use the
binary pvfs2-touch with its "-l" option to list the desired BMI address
where you want your blocks stored. ex:

pvfs2-touch -l tcp://server001:3334 /mnt/orangefs/testfile

You can then use the pvfs2-viewdist binary to verify your layout. ex:

pvfs2-viewdist -f /mnt/orangefs/testfile

If you want to know more about the current underlying data structures,
please let us know.
