Description
Allow files/directories to be marked with a "hidden" attribute, so that it does not appear in directory listings, even when using "ls -al". Currently, ".lustre" is one such super-hidden directory.
Use Case:
Super-users may need to create directories/files for maintenance purposes. If these are visible to regular users, it could potentially break job scripts that depend on specific directory contents or name entries. The super-hide feature allows administrators to create necessary files/directories without affecting user environments.
