+Set an attribute flag on a file. There are five currently
+supported flags. They are directio, immutable, appendonly,
+noatime, and sync. In most cases, the chattr command may be used
+rather than gfs2_tool to set attributes.
The \fIdirectio\fR flag causes all I/O to a regular file to be Direct
I/O, even if the O_DIRECT flag isn't used on the open() command.
The \fIimmutable\fR flag marks the file immutable. The behavior is
-similar to the immutable flag in the ext2/3 filesystems. All write

-The \fIinherit_jdata\fR flag is set on a directory. It causes all new

+Note: Unlike the original gfs_tool, the journaled data (\fIjdata\fR) flag
