Yes, it's simple. |

You need to ensure that your kernel configuration has the extended |
| 12 |
attribute support (ACL is a good idea too) and you have booted with the |
| 13 |
ext4 driver so configured. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
You then add the xattr option in /etc/fstab for the filesystem(s) where |
| 16 |
you want extended attribute support. If you do that before you reboot |
| 17 |
(as above) then you will have full extended attribute support. |
