>Description:
Invoking getextattr(8) on a glob pattern that matches the whole contents of a
directory or possibly even a smaller part of the contents display incorrect
attributes other than what was set.
Invoking getextattr(8) on a single file results in correctly displaying the
value.
To rule out possible flukes of nature and scripting I copied the explained
below 'bin' directory to a seperate filesystem and removed '[' all 'symlinks'
and 'direct links' so all that was left were actual files that were only single
copies of themself and the situation still repeated across multiple machines.
This was tested with '/rescue' '/bin' '/sbin' with the same results.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set the attributes using short example script here via (root):
--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
for file in /bin/*; do
setextattr system NAME `basename $file` $file
done
--------------------------------------------------
Then ensure the attributes are set (should show 'NAME' for every file)
lsextattr system /bin/*
Then display single correct name (should show 'realpath')
getextattr system NAME /bin/realpath
Then display list of incorrect names. (Starts displaying incorrectly for larger
name than the previously displayed name)(Notice realpath displays as
'realpathmeme')
getextattr system NAME /bin/*
