I have a requirement where i need to add some extended attributes on a symlink and a file.However "setfattr:operation not supported" error is not allowing me to do that in OpenSUSE.
$setfattr -n "user.name" -v "myname" LICENCE.txt
setfattr: LICENCE.txt: Operation not supported
$attr -s name -V myname LICENCE.txt
attr_set: Operation not permitted
Could not set "name" for LICENCE.txt
$cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64)
$vi /etc/fstab
UUID=796465a8-614a-4977-8d67-269f4239e9e8 /home xfs defaults 1 2
$zcat /proc/config.gz | grep XATTR
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y
Is this because of the absence of CONFIG_XFS_XATTR=y in my config? Is there any way I can enable XATTR in my environment?
