Hi Shain,

You can't disable the system extended attributes and they shouldn't
cause any problem unless you are accessing files with these
attributes on systems that run Solaris 10 releases, which don't
understand how to translate them.

Is this is cause of the permission denied errors?

If you want to disable users from creating them, then remount
the the file system with noxattr.

See the output below of how the attr creation succeeds and
then errors after the file system is mounted with noxattr.

Or, you can create a file system with noaxttr on, like this:

# zfs create -o xattr=off rpool/fs4

Thanks,

Cindy

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to disable the SUNWattr_ro and SUNWattr_rw 
file attributes in OpenSolaris.

I am receiving some permission denied error messages assocaited with 
SUNWattr_ro on some files.  It has been suggested that there is a way to 
disable them, or remove them, etc.  However I have been unable to find any 
information about doing so.

Example:
ad...@server1:/ztank/temp# touch test
ad...@server1:/ztank/temp# runat test ls -l
total 2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 84 Jan 11 11:58 SUNWattr_ro
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 408 Jan 11 11:58 SUNWattr_rw


Thanks in advance,

Shain
