[LU-13748] 'lfs setstripe -C -1' stripes too widely

Duplicate — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 23:34:24 +0000

Creating a file with overstriping using "-C -1" exceeds the maximum stripe count of 2000, resulting in a file that has an excessively-large xattr, which the client may have difficulty accessing:

# lfs setstripe -E 128M -c 1 --comp-flags=prefer -E eof -C -1 /mnt/lustre/file0

# lfs getstripe /lustre/fs0a92/client/file129
/lustre/fs0a92/client/file129

  	- 4: { l_ost_idx: 13, l_fid: [0x1000d0000:0xe5:0x0] }
...

In some cases, running "lfs getstripe -v" on the file causes the client to crash.
