Title: extended attributes
Post by: eschabor on June 13, 2010, 07:40:58 PM

Hi,
I'm working with TC 2.6 and struggling to get extended attributes working with an ext3 filesystem.
As su I try:
mount -o remount,acl,user_xattr /mnt/md0
but mount then shows that /mnt/md0 does not have the desired attributes of acl and user_xattr
(md0 is an already mounted and working RAID array formatted as ext3)
Does TC support extended attributes, or were they trimmed out of the kernel to save space ?
TIA

Doesn't seem to be.  See http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/release/src/config-2.6.29.1-tinycore

Thanks  :)    Compiling a kernel with xattr support turned out to be easier than I expected -> problem solved.
