-Obnam should provide xattr and ACL support. --liw
-
-I only need to support extended attributes, since ACLs are implemented
-in terms of those. Good, this makes things simpler. I can just read the
-list of xattrs on backup, and set it on restore, and I can treat the
-list as a string blob. It seems that in Linux, one needs to do a syscall
-for each key/value pair for a file, but there's a library function that
-operates on multiple pairs at once, and on Irix they're syscalls. Those
-functions have a fairly complicated API, though. Might want to keep
-things simple, at least initially. --liw
-
-This is now implemented for local filesystems. Paramiko does not seem
-to support them for SFTP, so that will have to not work. --liw
