Hi, I recently came across this when I was looking for various ways to convert GFID to Path[1]. I have tested "build-pgfid" option for basic sanity. It's documented in the commit msg of change[2]. Found one small issue[3]. There could be others. Users should be aware that these xattrs generated only for newly created dirs/files and are not built for already existing dirs/files.
