NOTES
   GENERAL OPTIONS
       Most of mfstools use -n, -h, -H, -k, -m and -g options to select format
       of printed numbers. -n causes to print exact numbers, -h uses binary
       prefixes (Ki, Mi, Gi as 2^10, 2^20 etc.) while -H uses SI prefixes (k,
       M, G as 10^3, 10^6 etc.). -k, -m and -g show plain numbers respectivaly
       in kibis (binary kilo - 1024), mebis (binary mega - 1024^2) and gibis
       (binary giga - 1024^3).  The same can be achieved by setting
       MFSHRFORMAT environment variable to: 0 (exact numbers), 1 or h (binary
       prefixes), 2 or H (SI prefixes), 3 or h+ (exact numbers and binary
       prefixes), 4 or H+ (exact numbers and SI prefixes). The default is to
       print just exact numbers.

   INHERITANCE
       When new object is created in MooseFS, attributes such as storage
       class, trash retention and extra attributes are inherited from parent
       directory. So if you set i.e. "noowner" attribute and storage class to
       "important" in a directory then every new object created in this
       directory will have storage class set to "important" and "noowner" flag
       set. A newly created object inherits always the current set of its
       parent's attributes. Changing a directory attribute does not affect its
       already created children. To change an attribute for a directory and
       all of its children use -r option.

   PATTERNS
       Since version 4.2.0 above attributes (storage class, trash retention
       and extra attributes) can be overridden by defining specific name
       patterns.
