Aside from what is in the Configure.help documentation, what exactly are
DMAPI/DMF attributes and for what applications are these recommended to be
enabled? My current kernel has this disabled and I did not build/install
the dmapi cmd packages. I disabled DMAPI because I did not think I had a
system that fit in the description "hierarchical storage management
systems".

Maybe someone can help me out and explain DMAPI/DMF and how one can
benefit from it? :)
