There are other options like CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE, disable that too. Also make sure that initrd image has the ext2 driver compiled for this kernel. > After searching 'getxattr' reference in my whole linux directory, .getxattr > field > should be initialized with "generic_getxattr" in ext2 and ext3 case. > Is it really what it need, or does it require something specific else? > If you are using vanilla ext2 fs and CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR is set, then it must be initialized in static inode operations table, look at: ext2_file_inode_operations for files ext2_dir_inode_operations for dir ext2_special_inode_operations for special files ext2_fast_symlink_inode_operations and ext2_symlink_inode_operations for symlinks all of them are compiled and initialized with generic_getxattr if you compile with CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR. -Rajat On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 1:31 PM, stl <st.lambert02@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hi, > > >> Does your kernel config set this option: >> CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y > > The result is the same with and without CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR enabled. > > >> And what is the state of CONFIG_AUDIT option?
