These can't be set with mkfs, only with tune2fs. The standard options can be set with (on an unmounted FS on /dev/foo): # tune2fs -o user_xattr,acl /dev/foo "user_xattr" is required to have extended attributes set. Also, the default for Fedora is to set the fsck times to zero as well; you can do that as well with: # tune2fs -o user_xattr,acl -c 0 -i 0 /dev/foo However, it would be good to file this as a bug against shadow-utils as well; it should handle filesystems that don't support extended attributes. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
