I had the same problem with openSUSE 10.3 alpha, so I looked at the code and straces from attr and setfattr. What happens is attr automatically prefixes 'user.' to the attribute. setfattr works if one also prefixes 'user.' to the attribute so the following two work:
$ attr -s foo -V bar foobar Attribute "foo" set to a 3 byte value for foobar: bar $ setfattr -n user.foo2 -v bar2 foobar $ getfattr -d foobar # file: foobar user.foo="bar" user.foo2="bar2" so this bug can be marked as INVALID (however launchpad does that). -- setfattr always returns "Operation Not Supported" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
