- Getting help
A file system created with a largefs-striped or largefs-mirrored-stripe layout may show incorrect number of columns in the Storage> fs list command (IA-7628)
If you create a file system with a largefs-striped or largefs-mirrored-stripe layout, theStorage> fs list command incorrectly derives the details of the layout of the file system. The command either shows the number of columns incorrectly. This is an issue with the display of the output.

There is no workaround.
