[lustre-discuss] llapi_file_open() messages to stderr

[John Bauer]

Dennis

Thanks for the response.  There are other reasons I want to suppress 
these messages.

1) I am trying to minimize system calls.

2) It's kind of overkill for llapi_file_open() to print to stderr.  The 
function already returns -1 with errno=EEXIST. Shouldn't it be up to the 
caller to decide if a message should be printed.

3) There are other messages, different than the *stripe already set*,  
that I also would like to suppress.  Most notably "*Invalid argument*".  
I hate to think that I have to check validity of all the striping 
arguments to prevent the messages to stderr.  I'll also point that even 
*lfs setstripe* doesn't even go to the trouble to tell you which 
argument is invalid.

     % lfs setstripe -c 486 -i 45 file.dat
     error on ioctl 0x4008669a for 'file.dat' (3): Invalid argument
     error: setstripe: create stripe file 'file.dat' failed
     %
