Hi folks,

just came out of an sdcc meeting.

It's definitely less frequent now but they still see setattr calls when files get copied to lustre. We cannot pinpoint the commands, so we cannot contact the specific users. So here is a general reminder, please do not use -a with rsync or cp. You can use rsync or cp itself - there is no problem I know off, just go easy on the -a flag

Thanks
Chris
