Documentation/ext3.txt suggests that the "user_xattr" and "acl" mount options
are on by default. This doesn't seem to be the case, as the kernel deduces the
default mount options from the filesystem superblock, and mke2fs does not
appear to write any default mount options there.
This error was spotted by Jacques de Mer.
