Yes, it's simple. You need to ensure that your kernel configuration has the extended attribute support (ACL is a good idea too) and you have booted with the ext4 driver so configured. You then add the xattr option in /etc/fstab for the filesystem(s) where you want extended attribute support. If you do that before you reboot (as above) then you will have full extended attribute support. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
