I'm preparing a new kernel for the machine I build on and have just hesitated over the enabling of xattr's in the kernel config. I'm pretty sure the file system won't be automatically affected, but I want to do a "tell me three times on it" because I simply cannot afford to make this machine unable to boot under old kernels. So, do all swear on a stack of bible and assorted other holy or unholy books that booting a kernel with xattr ext2 support enabled will *NOT* touch an existing file system and make it unuseable in, say a 2.2 kernel? I would be *most* upset if that were to happen. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon amon@islandone.org +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
