Hi Not sure if there is a mailing list for squashfs-tools. I'm not seeing xattrs after unsquashing. This is how we are using: 1. Install all of our RPMs with some root dir (rpm --root xyz) 2. mksquashfs of xyz. (-comp xz -Xbcj x86). 3. To update an rpm in image, we first unsquash the fs made in step 2 with unsquashfs. Say this is dir xyz2, then do 'rpm --root xyz2 -U changed.rpm' Right after unsquashing in step 3, I don't see capabilities on, say, ping. after first mksquashfs ie., installing all RPMs fresh: bash% getfattr -n security.capability rootfs/usr/bin/ping # file: usr/bin/ping security.capability=0sAQAAAgAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA= bash% getcap rootfs/usr/bin/ping usr/bin/ping = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+ep after unsquashfs: bash% getfattr -n security.capability /tmp/extracted/unsquashed/usr/bin/ping /tmp/extracted/unsquashed/usr/bin/ping: security.capability: No such attribute bash% getcap /tmp/extracted/unsquashed/usr/bin/ping bash% I explicitly specify '-xattrs' for both mksquashfs and unsquashfs. Is this known issue? thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
