post the strace output of running setcap on that fs what fs are you using exactly ?
ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL and CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY are enabled but not implemented on HPPA, as far as I can tell. karsten ~ # getcap -v /usr/bin/dumpcap Failed to get capabilities of file `/usr/bin/dumpcap' (Function not implemented)
(In reply to comment #2) > ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) The same failure occurs with acl,user_xattr added.
(In reply to comment #2) you're running into the stupidity i whined about upstream. the attr project hardcodes all the syscall #'s and if you're unlucky enough to be listed there, you get ENOSYS. hppa isn't listed there. i've grabbed a patch that was posted to upstream acl-devel after i complained. it was meant for a diff arch, but seems to fix hppa as well. i've committed attr-2.4.46-r2 with that patch, so once you update, that should fix the failures. as such, i'd like to continue letting fcaps.eclass dying on ENOSYS until we have a compelling scenario.
