Hello. The current manual does not seem to contain a introduction to the extended attributes. As Andreas provided a list of xattrs, along with information about each, please add this information to the manual. In considering where would be best, my suggestion would be to add a new section, "1.3.2. Lustre Extended Attributes", just after 1.3.1. Lustre File System and Striping. In doing so, a link could quickly be made between the striping policies of 1.3.1, and the trusted.lov xattr associated with retaining the file/directory striping files. At that point, "all" the xattrs could be introduced. Further, indicating in 1.3.2 that chapter 18 - backup and restore (and maybe other chapters later) discusses xattrs, also. Just a suggestion... Provide by Andreas was: "trusted.lov" - holds layout for a regular file, or the directory default layout (== lustre.lov) Thanks! |

Brett, is there some chance you could take a crack at adding this to the manual yourself? This is described at: https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/display/PUB/Making+changes+to+the+Lustre+Manual |

It would be useful to include entries for some of the remaining xattrs:
