Hello,
I have one question, what is right behavior of getfattr in a recursive 
mode? Should getfattr follow symlinks in this mode (without [PLh] 
parameters)?

Example:

$HOME/file.txt
$HOME/symlink -> /
...

getfattr -Rd $HOME

So what is the right result? Follow "$HOME/symlink" or not?

Thank you
