OK, so with 14.04 level maas, this is fairly trivial. 'tar --xattrs --xattrs-include=*'
Unfortunately, 12.04 level maas doesn't have that, so we'd have to do some backwards compatibility check/fix/hack if we want to support the fix in the installer was to do something like: getfattr | setfattr sudo getfattr --absolute-names --recursive -hysical --match=- --dump / seems to dump attrs, we could store that inside the tar as a file. ** Attachment added: "updated xattr-save-ping that works" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1313550/+attachment/4099531/+files/xattr-save-ping -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to iputils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313550 Title: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images.

This allows removing the suid bit. However, the tarball cloud images do not preserve the extended attributes, and thus /bin/ping does not work on a system derived from them.
