Extended attributes can be turned off during compile time for each |
| 7 |
filesystem you mentioned. NFSv3 doesn't support them (yes, I do share |
| 8 |
$PORTDIR). Also note that in some circumstances like when running in a |
| 9 |
virtualized environment, imposing additional requirements on the kernel |
| 10 |
might be problematic. It wouldn't be great to require extended |
| 11 |
attributes for each and every Gentoo box... |
