[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 08/15] ocfs2: Add extended attribute support v2

[Tiger Yang]

Hi, Tristan,

Ext3 support set xattr on symlink file, But not for user.* name space.
You can try setfattr -h -n trusted.name -v value symlinkfile and
getfattr -h -n trusted.name symlinkfile on ext3.

I will add this on our ocfs2.

Thanks,
tiger
