Hello All,
Further update on this issue , migrated to "e2fsprogs_1.43.bb" from
"e2fsprogs_1.42.9.bb" . It is observed that the ACL permission set are visible
on dev-shell but when qemu is launched we get below error :
root@qemux86:#getfacl /usr/bin/helloworld
getfacl: /usr/bin/helloworld: Invalid argument
Also,
root@qemux86:# setfacl -m u:user2:r-- /usr/bin/helloworld
setfacl: /usr/bin/helloworld: Invalid argument
Is this known and fixed already ?
Google shows that similar observations are seen , are they related ?

This is due to the fact that we don't currently have a mechanism to preserve
xattr through to image construction[1].
The largest barrier for doig so is that the package managers (certainly dpkg
and rpm) don't have any support for xattrs in packages (an image is populated
via the package manager).
To the best of my knowledge the only option for adding some xattr/ACL is to use
a postinst[2] to set the attributes after the package has been installed.
Regards,
Joshua
