DSTRIPE(1) mpiFileUtils DSTRIPE(1) NAME dstripe - restripe files on underlying storage SYNOPSIS dstripe [OPTION] PATH... DESCRIPTION Parallel MPI application to restripe files. This tool is in active development. It currently only works on Lustre. dstripe enables one to restripe file(s) across the underlying storage de- vices. One must specify a list of paths. All files in those paths can be restriped. By default, stripe size is 1MB and stripe count is -1 allowing dstripe to use all available stripes. OPTIONS -c, --count STRIPE_COUNT The number of stripes to use during file restriping. If STRIPE_COUNT is -1, then all available stripes are used. If STRIPE_COUNT is 0, the lustre file system default is used. The default stripe count is -1. -s, --size STRIPE_SIZE The stripe size to use during file restriping. Units like "MB" and "GB" can immediately follow the number without spaces (ex. 2MB). The default stripe size is 1MB. -m, --minsize SIZE The minimum size a file must be to be a candidate for restriping. Files smaller than SIZE will not be restriped. Units like "MB" and "GB" can immediately follow the number without spaces (ex. 2MB). The default minimum file size is 0MB. -r, --report Display the file size, stripe count, and stripe size of all files found in PATH. No restriping is performed when using this option. --progress N Print progress message to stdout approximately every N seconds. The number of seconds must be a non-negative integer. A value of 0 dis- ables progress messages. -v, --verbose Run in verbose mode. -q, --quiet Run tool silently. No output is printed. -h, --help Print the command usage, and the list of options available. EXAMPLES 1. To stripe a file on all storage devices using a 1MB stripe size: mpirun -np 128 dstripe -s 1MB /path/to/file 2. To stripe a file across 20 storage devices with a 1GB stripe size: mpirun -np 128 dstripe -c 20 -s 1GB /path/to/file 3. To restripe all files in /path/to/files/ that are at least 1GB in size: mpirun -np 128 dstripe -m 1GB /path/to/files/ 4. To restripe all files in /path/to/files/ across 10 storage devices with 2MB stripe size: mpirun -np 128 dstripe -c 10 -s 2MB /path/to/files/ 5. To display the current stripe count and stripe size of all files in /path/to/files/: mpirun -np 128 dstripe -r /path/to/files/ SEE ALSO The mpiFileUtils source code and all documentation may be downloaded from <https://github.com/hpc/mpifileutils> AUTHOR HPC COPYRIGHT 2022, LLNL/LANL/UT-Battelle/DDN 0.12 Jan 29, 2025 DSTRIPE(1)
