Hello,
I have been testing these patches and do not see the xattr information when
trying to retrieve it within the initramfs, do you have an example of how
you tested this originally?
So far I have set the xattr in the rootfs before creating the cpio file like
this:
$ setfattr -n user.comment -v "this is a comment" test.txt
If I access the data here it works:
$ getfattr test.txt
# file: test.txt
user.comment
Then I package it and try to verify it with this command:
$getfattr /test.txt
Which returns to the command line without the data.
I believe the cpio is working because I see the file /METADATA\!\!\! in
the target root filesystem, which shows the following when viewed with cat -e:
00000028^A^Auser.comment^@this is a comment
This matches the data I fed in at the start, so I believe the data is being
transferred correctly but I am accessioning it with the wrong tools.
Thank you for any help.
Best regards,
Jim
