Btw, can you point me at the manpage that defines the fsxattr struct and its
flags?
man xfsctl is the original source. However, ....
	warthog>man xfsctl
	No manual entry for xfsctl

This should be in the kernel manpages repo since it's kernel UAPI.
"original source" is where the API came from - that's
XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR - and xfsctl from xfsprogs is where that was
documented. That page documents a bunch of other XFS specific
ioctls, too, so it is appropriately located.

Like I said, I thought patches had been sent to Michael to lift the
FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR documentation from this page into the official
linux man pages package. If not, that can be chased up separately,
but the XFS ioctl man page certainly does not belong there.

Cheers,

Dave.
