[Gluster-users] Extended attributes question

[Diego M. Vadell]

Hi,

 I was stracing glusterfsd, and found calls to lgetxattr(). The strange
thing is that some of them succeeded, and some didn't. The ones that didn't,
had the "glusterfs" namespace:

[pid 16268] 0.000096
lgetxattr("/no_usar/disco_120/var/rsnapshot/daily.0/nova/rootfs/home/globus/gt5.0.2-all-source-installer/source-trees/gsi/openssl_gpt/crypto/cast/asm/CVS/Entries",
"glusterfs.inodelk-count", 0x0, 0) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

 And the ones that did succeed had the common "trusted" namespace:

[pid 16268] 0.000049
lgetxattr("/no_usar/disco_120/var/rsnapshot/daily.0/nova/rootfs/home/globus/gt5.0.2-all-source-installer/source-trees/gsi/openssl_gpt/crypto/cast/asm/CVS/Entries",
"trusted.afr.remote1-mysql", 0x0, 0) = 12

 For what I could read online, linux does not support other namespaces
besides "trusted", "security", "user" and "system". Is this a bug? Am I
missing something?

Thanks
