sanity test_300g fails with the following lines from the test_log output

 sanity test_300g: @@@@@@ FAIL: create dir2 fails

The problem is in the test at

15297         $LFS setdirstripe -i2 $DIR/$tdir/striped_dir/dir2 ||
15298                 error "create dir2 fails"
15299         stripe_index=$($LFS getdirstripe -i $DIR/$tdir/striped_dir/dir2)
15300         [ $stripe_index -eq 2 ] ||
15301                 error "dir2 expect 2 got $stripe_index"

The test checks that there are at least two MDTs (we need to stop using MDSCOUNT as MDTCOUNT, but that’s for a different ticket) and then creates two directories with ‘lfs setdirstripe –iN …’, with N = 1 and 2, striping directories at MDT index 1 and MDT index 2.

The problem here is that, with only two MDTs, creating a directory that starts with MDT index 1 works as expected, but creating a directory that starts at index 2 fails because MDT indexes are zero based and we only have two MDTs with indexes 0 and 1.

This test has passed review-dne-part-* testing because typical DNE testing creates two MDSs with two MDTs each and a MDT starting index of 2 is valid.

There are at least two ways to fix this issue; make sure you have three or more MDTs for this test or just create directories that have starting index 0 and 1.
