Yes. This can be done by using extended attributes to set directory hints. Three hints are currently supported, and they allow you to specify the distribution, distribution parameters, and number of datafiles to stripe across. They will not change the characteristics of existing files, but they will take effect for any newly created files within the directory. These hints will also be inherited by any new subdirectories.
