Appendix C, XML in Lustre

Lustre's XML-based files are stored as plain text on disk so that you may view, generate, and, in certain cases, modify them. The three types of XML-based files are:

• CUT (*.cut.xml)

• CUTINFO (*.cutinfo.xml)

• GRADENOTES (*.desc.xml)

The CUTINFO and GRADENOTES files are generated by Lustre and should be modified sparingly and with caution, as errors can cause serious malfunctions. An example of a modification you could safely make would be to change the Note field in the DESC file. The Note field contains a shot's note text. See Assigning Notes to Shots.
