Problem writtting attributes when using xattr.

[bga]

I am getting some errors when trying to build Haiku under linux with xattr support. The error shows up when trying to unzip some of the optional packages to the image and also some other error at the end. here are the specific errors:

And yes, there is plenty of space in both the Linux partition and the destination partition.

which filesystem is this on?

it si ext3. And I just figured out that ext3 has a limitation that any attribute must be at most the same size of the block size Which explain attributes bigger than 1024 bytes failing. I guess we should not allow the usage of xattr in FSs other than ReiserFS/XFS as it seems they are the ones that could hold arbitrary-sized attributes. Closing as invalid.
