They probably didn't set the mount options after creating the filesystem. These can't be set with mkfs, only with tune2fs. The standard options can be set with (on an unmounted FS on /dev/foo): # tune2fs -o user_xattr,acl /dev/foo "user_xattr" is required to have extended attributes set. Also, the default for Fedora is to set the fsck times to zero as well; you can do that as well with: # tune2fs -o user_xattr,acl -c 0 -i 0 /dev/foo However, it would be good to file this as a bug against shadow-utils as well; it should handle filesystems that don't support extended attributes. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
