I might say that the FC-4 system I copied in this way and then updated to FC-5 has been working fine for several days, so it does not seem as if the warnings during restore were important. I checked a few of the files that got the lsetxattr warning, and they seemed to have no attributes before or after, eg [root@alfred tim]# lsattr -v /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 1424857363 ------------- /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [root@alfred tim]# lsattr -v /mnt/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 2312123006 ------------- /mnt/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc So I guess the warning just meant something like: "if you did have any attributes set they would not have been copied". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
