[Gluster-devel] Adding one variable to inode structure

[Pranith Kumar Karampuri]

This sounds hacky. In general anything that is specific about an inode, we
try to store it in inode-ctx. Who uses this information about presence of
video-file and how? May be with that knowledge there could be a possibility
we can improve the solution. Do let us know the complete problem you are
trying to solve.
