[LUDOC-345] setstripe documentation missing "-b", section has incorrect argument

Fri, 26 May 2017 19:28:49 +0000

the setstripe command gives the output below. In section 19.2.1.1 it shows -o option as -o start_index. This is incorrect. This should be -i

Also nowhere in the manual does it mention a "-b | block" argument as shown in the command help.

[root@Lustre-TG1 lustrefs]# lfs setstripe -o 0-3 -c 4 -d testdir
error: setstripe: cannot specify -d with -s, -c, -o, or -p options
Create a new file with a specific striping pattern or
set the default striping pattern on an existing directory or
delete the default striping pattern from an existing directory

                 [--ost-list|-o <ost_indices>]
        stripe_size:  Number of bytes on each OST (0 filesystem default)
                      Can be specified with k, m or g (in KB, MB and GB
                      respectively)
        start_ost_idx: OST index of first stripe (-1 default)
        stripe_count: Number of OSTs to stripe over (0 default, -1 all)
        pool_name:    Name of OST pool to use (default none)
        block:        Block file access during data migration
        ost_indices:  List of OST indices, can be repeated multiple times
                      Indices be specified in a format of:
                        -o <ost_1>,<ost_i>-<ost_j>,<ost_n>
                      Or:
                        -o <ost_1> -o <ost_i>-<ost_j> -o <ost_n>
                      If --pool is set with --ost-list, then the OSTs
                      must be the members of the pool.
