For example, choose a widely-striped layout for .mpg movies, choose a single-striped layout for .mp3 audio files.</p> <p>In the first implementation, we might consider storing a table on the MDS of extension-&gt;FID mappings, where the referenced FID is used as the template for new files. An improvement on this would allow users to specify such a table on a parent directory, so they can create mappings without the input of the sysadmin.</p> LU-10345
