Dear All,
Has someone manage to have Dropbox to work on F17? I have installed it, but I get the following error:
"cannot enable user_xattr in /etc/fstab"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Thanks, suvayu. I had read that before posting my query, but that does not enumerate detailed steps leading to the solution of the problem.

For some more info and recommendations on extended attributes you can look here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CommonExtendedAttributes
FWIW, I have this in my fstab:
/dev/mapper/vg_kuru-lv_home /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 1 2

Thanks, Suvayu, once again. Following your suggestions, I was able to fix the problem by adding
user_xattr
to the line of my fstab file
/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home ext4 defaults 1 2
after 'defaults'. That line now looks like
/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 1 2
