If these -xattrs are not implemented the filesystem won't be shown on Finder, and if they -are not implemented properly there may be issues when some of the file operations -are done through GUI of Finder. But when a filesystem is used over mountpoint in a -terminal, everything is fine and these xattrs are not required. - -Currently the way these xattrs are implemented is simple. All the xattr calls -(getxattr, setxattr, listxattr, removexattr) are passed down to underlaying filesystem, -most of the cases when exported FS is on MacOS X itself, these keys are supported, hence -the fops succeed. But in the case of using exports of different OS on Darwin the issue is -extended attribute prefix like 'com.apple.' may not be supported, hence the problem with -Finder. To solve this issue, GlusterFS returns virtual default values to these keys, which -works fine on most of the cases. - |
