hi Tommi, if my local file system does not support extended attributes, can i use it? for example, i have mounted my local file system on /mnt/data/osd.0, when i configure this directory as the osd.0 in the ceph.conf, it shows error like cannot write osd object into the directory. how can i fix this?
