[lustre-devel] Inquiry Regarding Checksum Support for Lustre Extended Attributes

[Saisha Kamat]

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Saisha, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at UNC-Charlotte,
with a focus on research related to the Lustre File System. As part of my
project, I am exploring the possibility of utilizing checksums to verify
Lustre extended attributes.

My understanding is that the ext4 file system supports checksums for
extended attributes (xattrs). However, I am interested in whether this
functionality extends to Lustre as well.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some insights or direct
me to relevant documentation on this matter. Any information or guidance
you can offer would be invaluable to my research.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Thanks and Regards,
Saisha
