[LU-9746] ost-pools test 24 fails when $DIR has stripe_count = -1

Fri, 7 Jul 2017 21:22:57 +0000

ost-pools test_24 fails with

ost-pools test_24: @@@@@@ FAIL: Stripe count -1 not on /mnt/lustre/d24.ost-pools/dir4/f24.ost-pools0:1

when $DIR has stripe_count = -1. The issue here is that the test is comparing the output of ‘lfs getstripe –c” for a file and for a directory. For the directory, ‘lfs getstripe –c’ reports -1. For the file, , ‘lfs getstripe –c’ reports the number of OSTs.

This is easy to reproduce. Create a directory, set the stripe count on the directory to -1, touch a file in the directory and compare the stripe count. For a Lustre file system with six OSTs, we see:

# mkdir /lustre/scratch/newdir
# lfs setstripe -c -1 /lustre/scratch/newdir
# lfs getstripe -c /lustre/scratch/newdir/
-1
# touch /lustre/scratch/newdir/tfile
# lfs getstripe -c /lustre/scratch/newdir/tfile 
6

# DIR=/lustre/scratch/newdir ONLY=24 ./ost-pools.sh 
…
