[lustre-discuss] Stripe Size for small file and OST query

[Andreas Dilger]

Yes, if you set a default stripe_count=2 then all file access will need to check 2 objects.

However, the PFL file layout avoids this problem, and allows setting different file layouts for different ranges of the file, which is very useful for small/medium/large files, hybrid flash/disk in the same file, etc.

See the Lustre Manual https://doc.lustre.org/lustre_manual.xhtml#pfl for details.

Hi folks;

I know It is better to set stripe_size=1 for small files. What if I set more than 2 or more. Does client query all OSTs even though small file sit on the one OST only?

Best Regards;
