<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, talk to [[tschwinge]], and see these resources:
