Description

# mkdir d0
# lfs getstripe -m d0

# lfs getdirstripe d0
lmv_stripe_count: 0 lmv_stripe_offset: 0 lmv_hash_type: none
# lfs migrate -c2 d0
error: lfs migrate: d0: cannot open source file: Is a directory
# lfs migrate -m0 -c2 d0
# lfs getstripe -m d0

# lfs getdirstripe d0
lmv_stripe_count: 2 lmv_stripe_offset: 0 lmv_hash_type: fnv_1a_64
mdtidx		 FID[seq:oid:ver]
     0		 [0x200000400:0x2:0x0]		
     1		 [0x240000401:0x2:0x0]		

This is confusing and not indicated by the help:
