+
+ <gnu_srs> Another thing: the lsattr and chattr programs seems to be bogus
+ on Hurd. Are they present since they are part of e2fsprogs?
+ <youpi> I don't think the Hurd has an interface for it
+ <tschwinge> gnu_srs, youpi: lsattr/chattr are extended attributes, right?
+ We do have some patches from years ago for adding some support in glibc,
+ but they're not yet integrated. And also we do have a plan for using
+ these instead of our Hurd-specific passive translator information in
+ inodes.
+
+If interested in working on this, see [[!GNU_Savannah_task
+#5503]]/[[!GNU_Savannah_patch #5126]], and talk to [[tschwinge]].
