My kernel certainly has xattr support, otherwise the SELinux kernel 
would not even boot and initialise the system properly. It's just not 
willing to mount partitions without xattr support.

fs_use... Ok, I understand. Thanks.
So option 2 is the solution. Hmm, but that means that for all ext2 
partitions the extended attributes are disregarded. That's not quite 
what I want either.  Bugger, I'll have to do some datajuggling with 
partitions to get around this in a nice way. You're sure there is no way 
to specify per partition when xattr's should be used or not?
