An important thing to realize, if you wish to use xattr, you need a filesystem that has extended attributes functionalty and also has those enabled! I lost quite a bit of time with puzzling why xattr was not working with my ext4 system, until I found that the extended attributes, by default, are not enabled.
Adding user_xattr to the mounting configuration of the filesystem where I was working fixed the problem
/dev/sdb2 /home ext4 relatime,user_xattr 0 2
Requerimientos
Para utilizar xattr, se necesita tener libattr instalado. Este está disponible en » http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/attr/.
Nota:
Estas funciones sólo funcionan en sistemas de archivos que soportan atributos extendidos, y haya activado durante la instalación. Algunos sistemas de ficheros comunes que soportan atributos extendidos son ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs, and xfs.
