I don't remember it being a goal. If so, I have reconsidered.

The main goal I had was to allow unpriv users access to this info.
That has succeeded.

I would say my current goals are to simplify the command structure.
Also, make it script efficient.

e.g.,
This is lot more efficient...
numslots=$(o2info volinfo -N [-d DEVICE] FILE)
than...
numslots=$(o2info --volinfo DEVICE | awk '/Node Slots:/ { print $3; }')
