That may be fine for desktops, but where we were really devoid of
options is on servers. The latest release (Ibex) in server edition now
supports copying extended attributes with --preserve=all or the archive
flag (-a). However it still failed when copying between two xattr-
enabled partitions.
As a start, it seems to me that EA-aware mechanisms could be added to
the generic GTK+ file-handling functions. Then all GTK+ apps, including
all GNOME apps, would get that benefit immediately. EAs would be
preserved through most GUI operations, if not through coreutils
operations.

SabreWolfy, I think you need to re-read this bug. It has nothing to do
with the filesystem itself supporting extended attributes. Rather the
problem is with all the user-land tools that do not, like cp, tar,
graphical file managers, etc.
Without these tools supporting them, filesystem support is

Some info on enabling this in Ubuntu

Would be nice to have an alternative to the rather buggy

What is the status on this? I just started using the calendar server
package and quickly discovered that I've adopted a ticking time bomb;
backups will be completely useless if the extended attributes are not
preserved.
I want to do an ext4 reformatting and fresh install of my server,

I agree, EA-aware coreutils and some basic tools like tar with EA
support would be marvellous; ATM there is virtually no way to use
extended attributes in ubuntu

EAs should at least be enabled. For example, Beagle uses them if they

I have not originally assigned this to component nautilus because many
programs are affected. Unless at least the most essential programs like
"cp", "mv", "tar", "gedit" etc. all maintain/handle existing EAs,
support in nautilus is pretty useless.
