<p>I take it something changed between 2.14.0 and 2.15.5 concerning
selectable osts when using llapi_layout_ost_index_set().</p>
<p>I am not calling llapi_layout_pool_name_set() as I generally want
to be able to select OSTs from the entire set of OSTs available in
the file system. Generally, most Lustre file systems do not have
a pool for all OSTs. Without specifying a pool, it would seem that
2.14.0 allows me to only select OSTs that are in the pool that the
containing directory is using. But 2.15.5 allows me to select
OSTs from the entire set. If my OST selections are all in the
parent's pool, the file inherits the directory's pool name. If my
OST selections are not all in the parent's pool, the selection is
still valid but layout for the file indicates no pool name is
set. 2.15.5 works just great.</p>
<p>For 2.14.0 is there a way to specify no pool for a file, and not
have it default to using the containing directory's pool, but
rather have as valid the entire set of OSTs in the file system?</p>
<p>I realize this is going back quite a ways, but this is what I am
stuck with.</p>
