IIUC we currently only depend on python for the fio perf tests and btrfs/154 . My preference would be to not see it spread further (especially if it's just to shave off a little runtime), mostly because it's a pain for dependency tracking. Perhaps you could use perl's syscall(SYS_fsetxattr(), ...)? Well, that or rewrite it again in awk ;-P Cheers, David
