Hi, although official Oracle documentation indeed suggests that EA should not work if ocfs-tool is installed with version 1.4.3, which it is on Ubuntu 10 beta1: <http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/NewFeaturesList> "Extended Attributes Required Kernel: Linux 2.6.28 Required Tools: Ocfs2 Tools 1.4.4 (not yet released)"
I can use EAs after creating an OCFS fs with xattr support: # mount | grep ocfs /dev/sdb on /mnt type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,cluster_stack=pcmk) # cd /mnt/ # setfattr -n user.test -v bla file # getfattr -d file # file: file user.test="bla" How nice! But: how comes? Btw: I've done a some benchmarking of OCFS2 vs GFS2 using Netatalk Lantest and published the results here: <https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/netatalk/index.php?title=Lantest_Results> Summary: OCFS2 beets the pants out of GFS2. Even still with clusterwide POSIX locking which the tested application uses exensively. -Frank _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
