There is a library "liblustreapi" that has C function interfaces for
creating files with specific stripe parameters - llapi_file_open() is the
most basic interface that allows open/create of a file and setting the
stripe count, stripe size, and starting OST index.  A more complete
interface is llapi_file_open_param() that lets the application specify
more parameters for the layout.
