[Pvfs2-developers] Separate data and metadata storage paths -

[Sam Lang]

Hi David,

I don't see any problems with putting that in future releases once its  
ready.  It would be great if you could update the developers list with  
your planned changes, and possibly send along patches as you have  
them, allowing everyone to provide input, etc.
