my suggestion is in attachment (i'm not XFS guru, so "enabled by default" is my assumption, because calendarserver works fine on XFS and there is no such option for XFS extended attributes in kernel) maybe someone can add info about another filesystems (JFS or Reiserfs) http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ Technical Specifications Extended Attributes XFS implements fully journaled extended attributes. An extended attribute is a name/value pair associated with a file. Attributes can be attached to all types of inodes: regular files, directories, symbolic links, device nodes, and so forth. Attribute values can contain up to 64KB of arbitrary binary data. XFS implements three attribute namespaces: a user namespace available to all users, protected by the normal file permissions; a system namespace, accessible only to privileged users; and a security namespace, used by security modules (SELinux). The system namespace can be used for protected filesystem meta-data such as access control lists (ACLs) and hierarchical storage manager (HSM) file migration status. http://acl.bestbits.at/about.html -- 5o Peter.Mann at tuke.sk
