Extended attributes can be turned off during compile time for each filesystem you mentioned. NFSv3 doesn't support them (yes, I do share $PORTDIR). Also note that in some circumstances like when running in a virtualized environment, imposing additional requirements on the kernel might be problematic. It wouldn't be great to require extended attributes for each and every Gentoo box... Cheers, -jkt -- cd /local/pub && more beer > /dev/mouth
