Summary: Add interface item to posix-pvfs to check if a path or file descrtiptor is valid PVFS
Keywords:
posix-pvfs interface only operates on PVFS volumes - need to be sure that errors in this are handled cleanly. More importantly a program must be able to know if a path or fd is PVFS or not. This should be a fairly simple addition, though it may lead to multiple lookups (once to see if a path is valid, and again when the path is used).
An alternative would be to let some tasts handle non-PVFS when they can. Particularly "f" ops that run on a file descriptor this would be easy and efficient since it has already been looked up. Not sure its a good idea though.
