V4 Message-ID: <48A929A4.90103@oracle.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com Hi all, Extended attributes are used for storing POSIX ACLs, SELinux labels, and user accessible metadata. They are essential for deploying file systems exported for workgroup use via samba. The following patches implement extended attributes on the OCFS2 file system. Wish you enjoy it.
