[Gluster-users] Self heal files

[Krutika Dhananjay]

That's just a base file that all the gfid files are hard-linked to.
Since it is pointless to consume one inode for each gfid that needs a heal,
we use a base file
with an identifiable name (xattrop-*) and then hard-link the actual gfid
files representing pointers for heal
to this file.
