Description

The wording on the error message you get from setstripe -s 4G is inaccurate.

[root@centos62_vanilla ~]# lfs setstripe -s 4G /mnt/lustre
warning: stripe size larger than 4G is not currently supported and would wrap: Invalid argument (22)
error: setstripe: create stripe file '/mnt/lustre' failed
[root@centos62_vanilla ~]# lfs setstripe -s 4095M /mnt/lustre

More suitable wording would be stripe size of 4G or larger is not currently supported and would wrap.

• I might also question the value of the 'and would wrap'.
