emerging wireshark tells me I need to set specific capabilities on the binary. IN order to do this, it seems I have to mount my ext4 partition with user_xattr.

In /etc/fstab, I have
Quote:

#/dev/sdc2
/dev/disk/by-uuid/a3699f8d-c429-49e3-882a-8cd93858cf32 / ext4 rw,noatime,user_xattr,data=ordered,commit=0 0 1
# /dev/sdc5
/dev/disk/by-uuid/3da8d1d7-b223-41e2-866b-7904ef021e7f /mnt/Hermes/Hermes-Data0 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,commit=0 0 2
# /dev/sdc6
/dev/disk/by-uuid/c3aac44e-d065-4e9b-b2ed-a13e3e7cc043 /mnt/Hermes/Hermes-Data1 ext4 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,commit=0 0 2
# /dev/sdd1
/dev/disk/by-uuid/c1add652-874a-44d6-bc16-86ad73f18e20 /mnt/.backupdrive ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered,commit=0 0 2


However, the following is the result after booting:
Quote:

/dev/sdc6 on /mnt/Hermes/Hermes-Data1 type ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,commit=0)


As can be seen, the non-root partitions have no problem with user_xattr (so the feature is available in the kernel), whereas the root partition does. Do I need to do something special to enable user_xattr on the root drive ?

dmesg gives me the following:

Try adding rootflags=user_xattr to the kernel boot command line.

Is this ext_attr related?
# tune2fs -l /dev/sda3 |grep ext_attr
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filet....

## SDC2 is the root device
tune2fs -l /dev/sdc2 |grep attr
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize
Default mount options: user_xattr acl

## SDC5 is a data partition, and I can mounting with user_xattr succeeds
# tune2fs -l /dev/sdc5 |grep attr
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize
Default mount options: user_xattr acl

=> As you see, I already tried setting the default mount option as defined in the superblock to use user_xattr, also without success on the root device
