[Pvfs2-users] Modifying stripe size does not show

[Phil Carns]

Hi Nirmal,

I think that you can use the same mechanisms to set distribution 
parameters in 1.5.1 as in our newer releases.

There is some information here about how to set the strip size at run 
time for a particular directory (no need to recompile):

http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/browse/PVFS/doc/pvfs2-tuning.tex?r=1.2#l208

You can also set a default for the whole file system in your server 
configuration file by adding a section that looks like this into your 
<Filesystem> section:

     <Distribution>
         Name simple_stripe
         Param strip_size
         Value 4194304
     </Distribution>
