If you run `tar --version` you'll probably find both machines are running GNU tar.

I suspect that GNU tar supports extended attributes at source, but enabling it may be optional at compile time and that Ubuntu have chosen not to enable it when they built the package. Ubuntu may have a separate tar-xattr package that contains an enabled-binary, or you may be able to obtain one from a different source. Worst case is that you'll have to compile it yourself (download the gzipped tar from <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>, untar it, then uninstall Ubuntu's tar using synaptic or whatever).

Suggest you search the notoriously helpful Ubuntu forums for "tar extended attributes xattr" and see what others suggest.


Thanks,

Found out that it is a Fedora/Red Hat extension, which is on the wishlist for Debian:

I also requested the Fedora people to include DCS.
It appears they do want a calendar server in Fedora 12

Let's see who is first to have both DCS and tar --xattr :-)

Thanks,
Pim
