would be
that you're putting your options after the filename - what if you do:
lfs setstripe -c 10 iozone.tmp
Same result, I should have said I tried that , sorry :/

Thanks Alex I'm going to try that!
Sorry that I keep bothering everyone but:
How do I troubleshoot lfs setstripe that refuses saying it's getting an
invalid argument (22)?
lfs setstripe iozone.tmp -c 10
unable to open 'iozone.tmp': Invalid argument (22)
error: setstripe: create stripe file 'iozone.tmp' failed
I have tried first touching the file, I have tried it on directories
(both existing and non-existing) but all the same result.
I am running the command as a regular user inside a folder that belongs
to the user....
Thanks,
Eli
