Re: XATTR option does NOT work for chattr attributes

No, primary problem is still there even with compiled version 1.5a85.

I installed pre-packaged xattr and acl static libraries (libattr-devel,
libacl-devel) and re-built binaries
This got me back to where I was with pre-packaged version 1.5a75
i.e. user attributes are preserved BUT chattr attributes are not.

I have a make log which I tried to post but it was rejected as too big.

Are you quite sure that chattr attributes are preserved on your solaris
version?
Is it possible that this is a Linux Kernel issue?

It seems a bit crazy when many Linux distros support chattr attributes but
there is no pre-packaged copy/archive utility that preserves them. I'm not
too interested in chattr attributes in general but the immutable flag is
very useful.

Is it possible that this has something to do with XATTR namespaces?
Perhaps star only support user namespace?
Anyone know what namespace is used by chattr attributes?

I have a user_xattr entry in my /etc/fstab. Do I need some other entry to
support chattr attributes in star?

Sorry, I'm grasping at straws here...
