From 88ee9d571b6d8ed345f877e05f685814412e359b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen" Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 21:39:40 +0200 Subject: ext4: support xattr gnu.* namespace for the Hurd The Hurd gained[0] support for moving the translator and author fields out of the inode and into the "gnu.*" xattr namespace. In anticipation of that, an xattr INDEX was reserved[1]. The Hurd has now been brought into compliance[2] with that. This patch adds support for reading and writing such attributes from Linux; you can now do something like mkdir -p hurd-root/servers/socket touch hurd-root/servers/socket/1 setfattr --name=gnu.translator --value='"/hurd/pflocal\0"' \ hurd-root/servers/socket/1 getfattr --name=gnu.translator hurd-root/servers/socket/1 # file: 1 gnu.translator="/hurd/pflocal" to setup a pipe translator, which is being used to create[3] a vm-image for the Hurd from GNU Guix.
