Description

Given that lustre 2.x versions now support unique file identifier (FID) it would be rather useful to be able to specify that FID in lfs setstripe and lfs getstripe commands.

Right now, if you have the single FID to a file, you can use lfs fid2path, however fid2path does not provide a full path to the file, so the parent FID is required.

Once you have the parent FID and target FID you can use those to lookup the actual file path / name and then lfs setstripe / getstripe.
