[LU-8421] setstripe -i needs to work in a deterministic way

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Not a Bug
• Priority: Minor
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.7.0
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: WC Triage

Description

The expectation for using -i in setstripe (the starting index) is that it either would start at the index and then balance across OSSes or go in index order. It currently appears to go in mount order which can be somewhat random and the order is not able to be determined by a user.
