Xattrs are not supported

Asked 26/6, 2012 at 6:49 Answered 17/11, 2018 at 16:36

I am trying to perform a little testing of XATTRs. I recompiled my kernel with ALL the XATTRs enabled.

Now, when I include the header of xattrs :

#include <attr/xattr.h>

I receive an error no such file or directory. I am using UBUNTU 11.10 64 bit system, and I cannot understand why XATTRs are not supported ?

Adding support in the kernel doesn't make the header files magically appear on their own! Install libattr1-dev.

I have already installed it, but the problem hasn't been passed yet. – Genitals 26/6, 2012 at 8:32

on centos that's libattr-devel – Tzong 21/1, 2015 at 13:59

"attr/xattr.h" was replaced by "sys/xattr.h" so try this instead #include <sys/xattr.h>
