New issue 306 by [email protected]: Extended attributes are lost in
backupcopy=no mode
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=306
To reproduce the problem
0. Create a file:
$ echo "foo" > foo.txt
1. Put an extended attr in the file, and confirm the xattr is ok:
$ setfattr -n user.at1 -v v1 foo.txt
$ getfattr foo.txt
2. Edit the file with vim, save it
3. Check the xattr
$ getfattr foo.txt
You'll see the xattr is not there anymore. It should be preserved, the same
way other attributes of the file are preserved (like permissions).
Of course, setting backupcopy=yes will work, but this implies the overhead
of copying the file, which is not nice (that's why the backupcopy default
is no <wink>).
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
