Hi Roberto,

I know you were looking at this over the summer[1], did you ever find
a resolution to this?  If not, what do you think of just dropping
security xattr support on reiserfs?  Normally that wouldn't be
something we could consider, but given the likelihood that this hadn't
been working in *years* (if ever), and reiserfs is deprecated, I think
this is a viable option if there isn't an obvious fix.
