PowerScale OneFS Web Administration Guide
Object Metadata
An object can have two types of metadata, system metadata and user-defined metadata.
Both system and user-defined metadata are defined as a set of name-value pairs. In OneFS, system metadata gets stored as an inode attribute and the user-defined metadata gets stored as an extended attribute of the file.
