[Pvfs2-developers] Setting the dfile count

Hello

   In trying to set the dfile count, I'm finding that the attribute mask 
is set to

attr.mask = 0x3f

during file creation.

I apparently need there to be a 1 in the 7th bit position (<<25) in 
order to set the dfile count (based on pvfs2-types.h).  I am passing in 
the number of dfiles I want, but since the mask isn't set correctly I 
can't set it.  How do I fiddle with the attribute mask, the sys-getattr 
machine is complex.

Cheers,
Brad
