Hi, Like many others, I started using star because of it's XATTR support. In fact, I often use it in -copy mode as a replacement for "cp -p". However I just noticed that the immutable flag (as used by the chattr command) is not preserved by star when using the XATTR option (although user attributes seem to work fine). Am I doing something wrong or is this feature not yet supported? If the latter is the case, does anyone know of any copy/archive utility that preserves chattr EAs. I am using Star Version 1.5a75 on RedHat/Centos 5.0 but have also noticed the problem on many other distros. Regards, Vincent Callanan
