I can confirm that this behavior also appears in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy. I've tried adding "user_xattr" to the fstab entries for ReiserFS and EXT3 filesystems, and setfattr doesn't work in either filesystem types. Are CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR and CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR set to "y" in the Ubuntu kernel config file?
-- setfattr always returns "Operation Not Supported" https://launchpad.net/bugs/43954 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
