Got during re-emerge :

WARN: postinst
Could not set caps on '/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper' due to missing filesystem support:
* enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel (if configurable)
* mount the fs with the user_xattr option (if not the default)
* enable the relevant FS_SECURITY option (if configurable)

but I do have an EXT4 fs.

We don't do anything special in this package. We just use fcaps.eclass

it's hard to say what it is you have trouble with.  if it's the "ext2/ext3", that is purely a display issue.  otherwise, follow the directions and add the missing features to your kernel.

Yeah - it is a minor issue, eg. for EXT4 and kernel 3.11 I do not have/see an EXT4_FS_XATTR option in the kernel sources  - /me was just wondering if it could distract people.
