[Gluster-users] What is it with trusted.io-stats-dump?

[Krutika Dhananjay]

trusted.io-stats-dump is a virtual (not physical) extended attribute.
The code is written in a way that a request to set trusted.io-stats-dump
gets bypassed at the io-stats translator layer on the stack and
there it gets converted into the action of dumping the statistics into the
provided output file path.
See io_stats_setxattr() implementation in io-stats.c for more details.

HTH,
Krutika
