[lustre-discuss] What happens if my stripe count is set to more than my number of stripes

[Drokin, Oleg]

Hello!

   Current allocator behaviour is such that when you specify more stripes than you have OSTs, it'll treat it the same as if you set stripe count to -1 (that is - the maximum possible stripes).

Bye,
