Hi, All commands (star,dar) that i use to backup, they all doesn't save the EA (only ACL are) on reiserfs and ext3 filesystems ! How could i save them. $ mount |grep reiserfs /dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr,attrs) $ getfacl acl # file: acl # owner: lolo # group: root user::rw- user:titi:--- group::rw- #effective:-w- mask::-w- other::rw- $ lsattr acl -----a------- acl star: $ star -cz -xattr -acl -H=exustar -f acl.tgz acl cd ../other_dir Extraction : $ star -xvz -xattr -acl -H=exustar -f ../acl.tgz $ getfacl acl;lsattr acl # file: acl # owner: lolo # group: root user::rw- user:titi:--- group::rw- #effective:-w- mask::-w- other::rw- ------------- acl dar : dar -c ../acl 1 inode(s) saved with 0 hard link(s) recorded 0 inode(s) changed at the moment of the backup 0 inode(s) not saved (no inode/file change) 0 inode(s) failed to save (filesystem error) 0 inode(s) ignored (excluded by filters) 0 inode(s) recorded as deleted from reference backup -------------------------------------------- Total number of inode considered: 1 -------------------------------------------- EA saved for 1 inode(s) -------------------------------------------- Extraction : $ cd ../other_dir $ dar -x ../acl.1.dar $ getfacl acl;lsattr acl # file: acl # owner: lolo # group: root user::rw- user:titi:--- group::rw- #effective:-w- mask::-w- other::rw- ------------- acl Thanks a lot,
