Hello,
If I understands it correctly XFS don't have a limit to the size of extended attributes(EA) but Linux impose a limit at 64k. #define XATTR_SIZE_MAX 65536 /* size of an extended attribute value (64k) */
#define XATTR_LIST_MAX 65536 /* size of extended attribute namelist (64k) */
Changing this values feels unsafe because they will be system wide.
Is the any possibility to combine Linux + XFS to make a backup that works with EA or is this more a question for kernel.org?
