Mount command for ext4 not accepting "--nouser_xattr" option - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Wednesday, 19 July 2023

I find that the mount command for an ext4 filesystem is not accepting the
"--nouser_xattr" option, despite that being listed as a valid option in the
ext4(5) manpage. This appears to be true in both Fedora 37 and 38. Note that the
"--user_xattr" option _is_ accepted. When did this change? I have some external
disks shared across multiple systems, and I want to keep them free of user xattrs.

Is this an error in the manpage, or a bug in the mount command itself?
