Thanks Andrew, I did that successfully, probably as you say I don't
really need it but I don't like seeing those messages!
I still get a message about ACLs, but probably I should just not worry
about it...
Regards
Dominic

Sorry I am stuck again. I have installed pylibacl and pyxattr by doing:
apt-get install python-pylibacl python-pyxattr
but still when I use rdiff-backup I see these messages:
Extended attributes not supported by filesystem at
archive1/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0
POSIX ACLs not supported by filesystem at
archive1/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0
The filesystem is ReiserFS. I guess I need to do something more to
setup pylibacl and pyxattr, but what?
You need to enable extended attributes on your ReiserFS partition.
They are not enabled by default. Only XFS and JFS enable EA's by default.
To do this, add the 'user_xattr' option to your mount options for the
desired partition(s).
See 'Enabling Extended Attributes' on this page:
http://beagle-project.org/Gentoo_Installation
Let us know if that works or not for you.
Andrew
PS -- If you don't have the user_xattr option set on your ReiserFS
partitions, then that means you don't have any extended attributes on
them to backup, anyway (since the support is entirely disabled at the
FS-level).
