Follow-up Comment #1, sr #121133 (project xrootd): Hi Attila, The problem is that the data3-data6 disks do not support extended attributes (the first 3 do). This means that the options for these disks did not specify the user_xattr attribute. The /etc/fstab entry for each file system should look like: /dev/hda? /export/data? ext3 defaults,user_xattr 1 2 You must be running a rather old version of Linux as extended attributes became the default for ext3 some time ago.
