Re: enabling extended attributes in ext3 under RHEL4

Hi,

Scott <smbaker@xxxxxxxxx> told us:

Hello,

I'm trying to use extended attributes in the ext3 file system under
RHEL4. Right now, I'm getting a not supported error:

$ attr -s foo -V bar foo
attr_set: Operation not supported
Could not set "foo" for foo


attr is the command for handling XFS filesystem. To handle extended
attributes on a ext3 filesystem use the chattr/lsattr commands.
Btw., that has nothing to do with acls. And further on, extended
attributes on XFS and ext3 are very different.
