I think this might not just be a minor issue btw. One of the main goals of this feature is to make coredumps reasonably useful when they originate from a binary shipped as container image. But do all popular container envs even ship xattrs in their deployment images? I mean, it's an optional tar feature, and do they all enable it? iirc original "aufs" backed Docker didn't support xattrs, simply because aufs didn't. I figure that leaked into all later versions, too, no?
