[Pvfs2-developers] metadata server

[Murali Vilayannur]

Dharani,
Don't add any fields to the core metadata. It is not worth the pain :(
Use extended attributes. they are meant for this very purpose.
Look up the PVFS faq on how to use xattr's through the command line
and/or the apis.

Thanks,
Murali
