Hello world,
I'm running 8.0-RC1 built from latest RELENG_8 on September 29th.
I found a use case for extended attrs in my day to day life - I wanted
to make everything in a given directory have a default mask of
group-writable.
I tried:
# setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::rwx,mask::rwx /bukkit/home/rercola/oose
setfacl: acl_get_file() failed: Operation not supported
# zfs get xattr bukkit/home/rercola
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
bukkit/home/rercola xattr off temporary
# zfs set xattr=on bukkit/home/rercola
# zfs get xattr bukkit/home/rercola
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
bukkit/home/rercola xattr off temporary
What's going on? Wikipedia says, uncited, that FBSD ZFS has extended
attributes. The FBSD wiki page on ZFS says that extattr is "done", but
the description hasn't changed from before this was the case.
I tried, naively:
# extattrctl start /bukkit/home/rercola/
extattrctl start: Operation not supported
What's the correct thing to do here? Is it secretly unsupported and
the documentation is imprecise? Or am I just an idiot?
- Rich
