Hello,
My lustre installation has a total of 64 OSTs and I have created a
directory that has been configured over 8 OSTs.
However, files in this directory get striped over different OSTs. For
example,
file 1 might get striped over OSTs 0 thru 7, whereas file 2 might get
striped over OSTs 8 thru 15.

How can I configure a directory so that files in it get striped across
the *same* set of OSTs?

Thanks,

Define and use Lustre OST Pools.
