Thanks for the patches! > This does not include any of the provenance support. It just allows you > to modify distribution, distribution parameters, and number of datafiles > to use for a given directory. These settings will only impact the > creation of future files within the directory; it does not change > parameters for existing files. > > Examples: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] setfattr -n "user.pvfs2.num_dfiles" -v "1" > /mnt/pvfs2/directory > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] setfattr -n "user.pvfs2.dist_name" -v "basic_dist" > /mnt/pvfs2/directory > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] setfattr -n "user.pvfs2.dist_params" -v "strip_size:4096" > /mnt/pvfs2/directory Can you also add an entry in the FAQ for these if you haven't done it already? > - hints are inherited by newly created subdirectories This is pretty neat!
