Hi all

I have about 400TB of storage running dht on ZFS and want to change the
way the extended attributes are stored, assuming it's safe to do this in
ZFS version 0.6.2? I discovered by experimentation that if I remove the
attributes on the server, Gluster will remake them when a file is first
accessed. So the question is, would it be safe to simply delete all the
attributes from all files and just let Gluster remake them?

Cheers,
