One could get the impression that "system." attributes are kept obscure by developers' intention. I now found in the man page a few sentences which could be the origin of my dim (and distorted) memories about this name space: -m pattern, --match=pattern Only include attributes with names matching the regular expression pattern. The default value for pattern is "^user\\.", which includes all the attributes in the user namespace. Specify "-" for including all attributes. So what do you get from this run ? getfattr -d -m - test.sh > $ nfs4_getfacl test.sh > # file: test.sh > A::OWNER@:rwaxtTcCy > A::GROUP@:rxtcy > A::EVERYONE@:tcy It seems that man 5 nfs4_acl gives explanations of the settings under "ACE FLAGS:". I expect that nfs4_setfacl -x could remove the offending attribute, if not setfacl -x does. (I would rather move this file to my directory tree of strange files, which i keep for testing purposes.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
