Directory stripping settings are not being propagated. Is this expected?
Yes, this working as designed. It isn't necessarily good for all directories
to be striped, as that adds overhead without necessary improving performance.
The current recommendation is that DNE should be used for e.g. a top-level
directory to distribute files and subdirectories across MDTs, or in the case of
large directories with millions of files.
