Thanks, Suvayu, once again. Following your suggestions, I was able to
fix the problem by adding

user_xattr

to the line of my fstab file

/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home                   ext4
defaults        1 2

after 'defaults'. That line now looks like

/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home                   ext4
defaults,user_xattr        1 2
