If you only want specific striping information then the options of \fB--count\fR,\fB--size\fR,\fB--index\fR or \fB--offset\fR plus various combinations of these options can be used to retrieve only what you want. What pools a file belong to can also be obtained with \fB--pool\fR. In the case where you only want details about the files object id information then the \fB--quiet\fR option is used. Additional information available about striping can be displayed with \fB--verbose\fR. The default behavior of lfs getstripe used to retrieve data about a directory is to list all the contents of that directory. If you wish to inquire only about that directory then \fB--directory\fR,can be used to list directory entries instead of its contents in the same manner as ls -d. This can be expanded with \fB--recursive\fR which will recurse into all subdirectories. You can filter the search to return only files that has a object on a specific OST with \fB--obd\fR.

+List the striping information for a given filename or directory tree.
+By default the stripe count, size, and offset will be returned. If you
+only want specific striping information then the options of
+.BR --count ,
+.BR --size ,
+.BR --index ,
+.BR --offset ,
+or
+.B --pool
+can be used to return only the specific fields.
+.br
+If the
+.B --raw
+option is specified, the stripe information is printed without substituting the
+filesystem's default values for unspecified fields. If the striping EA is not
+set, 0, 0, and -1 will be printed for the stripe count, size, and offset
+respectively.
+In the case where you only want details about the files' object id
+information then the
+.B --quiet
+option is used. Additional information available about striping can be
+displayed with
+.BR --verbose .
+The default behavior when a directory is specified is to list the striping
+information for all files within the specified directory (like
+.RB ' "ls -l" ') .
+This can be expanded with
+.B --recursive
+which will recurse into all subdirectories.
+If you wish to get striping information for only the specified directory, then
+.B --directory
+can be used to limit the information, like
+.RB ' "ls -d" ').
+You can limit the returned files to those with objects on a specific OST with
+.BR --obd .
