I was meaning your current fix could simply do:
- if (ret == -1 && errno == ENODATA) {
+ if (ret == -1 && errno == ENOATTR) {
since ENOATTR works in all cases, but this is rather a hack.
Another solution would be to ensure that local_removexattr_nofollow() only
reports linux errnos. This could be handled cleanly in the
fremovexattrat_nofollow() implementation in 9p-util-darwin.c.
Since the 9p code base mostly assumes the host is linux, this should
probably be generalized to other places where we check errno.
