X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The background: So during the initial configuration of a box I enabled the xattr flags for ext3 and options of xattr in coreutils, and at the time didn't realize that I'd hit a snag that would finally annoy me enough after a month of getting a non-fatal error messages from cp "cp: listing attributes of `/dev/null`: Invalid argument" to spend half a day researching the cause and a potential solution. Setup: udev mounts a tmpfs to /dev then fills it with device nodes. Problem: the resulting tmpfs has no xattr support. Therefore: Tmpfs without xattrs, and coreutils and everywhere else with xattr support, cp freaks. Is there sometime in the forseable future when the tmpfs module will support for xattrs in the stable branch, or should I "holler at the maintainers of coreutils to fix their broken code in cp". Even better (and I like this option the most) a little of both? - -- Rob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJJAtiFAAoJEPviweVbLO8VHFIP/jEDHs9aZb+mnR6RxwwOCASy gYqqdiwzlnBezFVwiIE3pEK4f3jxsn7WJDWV64MqjtHB7POvguqGJPs7BBMsFVNq Gs5Q/hkC1GSYp7+PkC28Ft8cg0ukm5o5hiwd0s7TW5g+bMK1/Xh4Rq4j8rRixzHG Qnq/KyBlO77DKzLbBVZHMg6GWasvKc50w4bLGr134CKNnFb+EKSc3NJAMwuwKhZG YUfn1LPhaF0jepGyr58cTnXcy0BrOkwUmKe9TsTytHuz3NjpXXhlMymj72U0C/Jo ZD+olEVJshBXUfn3HrmXeL78YCQLheK56/YA3MbOSuwKjzPHn0BLkFvvhD7ks3Md S2NrdJaJ+d9BafDRBCEbTqtR2xvka9JU3c1Oo5qS6O1BOWZY3QH9XN9s5526wqq1 r91F6D8EcrAFVly/FTDv57QXuRZ8hjddhFb8PuJMuVF3KD/zRp4/s4os4/INdVa8 CTDhomId6SftMPMAc3F/QquXN1EVd9FsMTL+81auegrv6HkiyWBf+lxhSIhSo2dk 3u6mGujpEezwSPVyQ0+5yxyEYHtW14ioVQtEOQPuk3Kp+IjSBo9b/HA+Y52Dv9V1 T6U6vtw/F4SbgvZ+vpSJPznu3f7DxhhtSBq4dAvsVn+a1h7fD2WgAh52TL/gQzxo 5yAlYi4DYSlMMJGPxEiZ =Ezq7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
