Unable to list extended attributes

[csmadhu]

Hi,

I have encrypted directory /usr/.local and mounted at /usr/local
encfs on /usr/local type fuse.encfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)

When I try to list attributes on the mount point I get below error
[root@OVF-6 test]# lsattr /usr/local
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /usr/local/bin
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /usr/local/include
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /usr/local/share

[root@OVF-6 test]# lsattr /usr/local/bin/aws
lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /usr/local/bin/aws

But trying to list on raw storage works
[root@OVF-6 test]# lsattr /usr/.local
-------------e-- /usr/.local/bin
-------------e-- /usr/.local/include
-------------e-- /usr/.local/share
-------------e-- /usr/.local/etc

You are using the wrong command. You want to use getfattr:

getfattr -d foobar
