[LU-9324] sanity-pfl test 10 needs to reset the file system default layout

• Type: Technical task
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.11.0
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.10.0
• Labels: pfl test
• Assignee: Zhenyu Xu
• Reporter: James Nunez (Inactive)

Description

sanity-pfl test_10 sets the default layout on $MOUNT and does not return the file system to the original state. For users running the Lustre test suites as a sanity check on their file systems, this is an unexpected side effect. We should return the file system to the state it was in before running sanity-pfl.

From sanity-pfl, the following code in test 10 sets the default layout:

        $LFS setstripe -d $MOUNT || error "clear root layout"

	# set root composite layout                                             
	$LFS setstripe -E 2M -c 1 -S 1M -E 16M -c2 -S 2M \
		-E -1 -c 4 -S 4M $MOUNT ||
                error "Set root layout failed"

Here's what the file system layout looks like before and after sanity-pfl test 10:

# lfs getstripe /lustre/scratch
/lustre/scratch
stripe_count:  1 stripe_size:   1048576 stripe_offset: -1

Sorry, I didn't see comments here.

I agree that since "lfs getstripe" for composite files already produces YAML output, it would be useful to save this to a file, allow it to be edited, then use it as a template for a new file. There would need to be a new option like "lfs getstripe --yaml" (already default for composite files) that also dumps non-composite files in the same YAML format so that this works with all kinds of files. There would be some work needed for parsing the YAML input into a struct llapi_layout.

It would still be useful to allow "lfs setstripe --copy=/path/to/template/file [other options] /path/to/new/file" so that there is not a need to store the layout into a temporary file and edit it by the user. This would only get the layout from the existing file, optionally modify it, then use it as the template for the new file while ignoring all per-file details of the instantiated file (FID, object IDs, stripe indices), but keeping the generic parts (component count, stripe counts, stripe sizes, pools).
