I downloaded ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/attr_2.4.43-1.tar.gz and found it builds OOTB, but my first attempt to use setfattr got me an error: > $ ./setfattr/.libs/setfattr.exe -n bar -v baz foo > setfattr: foo: Operation not supported Nor was getfattr capable of showing me the attributes I set in the windows explorer file properties "summary" tab. I'm taking a look through the strace to see what's failing and why. The code might need a little porting. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
