Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 10:49:28 UTC 
If a user runs Beagle on their system and Beagle indexes a file, if you try to copy that file to say a FAT formated USB Disk (as most are), the copy will fail and give a bunch of errors. Robert Love has a proposed patch for attr which I'm including here.

Instead of

        $ cp x /var/tmp
        cp: setting attribute `user.Beagle.Uid' for `/var/tmp/x':
        Operation not supported
        cp: setting attribute `user.Beagle.MTime' for `/var/tmp/x':
        Operation not supported
        cp: setting attribute `user.Beagle.IndexTime' for `/var/tmp/x':
        Operation not supported
        cp: setting attribute `user.Beagle.Fingerprint' for
        `/var/tmp/x': Operation not supported

I fixed it.  We now have

        $ cp x /var/tmp
        cp: Metadata will be lost, setting attributes for `/var/tmp/x':
        Operation not supported

Looks like attr is only pulled into coreutils with the acl USE flag... even though attr is used for more then just ACLs... but oh well.
