Hello,
you can check the xattr support on your partition with
mount | grep devicename
where devicename is the device of the partition you want to check. On
my gentoo box checking hda2 I get:
/dev/hda2 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,user_xattr)
as you can see xattr support is enabled.
If you need to eneble xattr on your partition you just need to remount
it with:
sudo mount -o remount -o user_xattr devicename
and if you want to enable xattr at the next boot edit /etc/fstab at the
line of devicename. It should look something like this:
/dev/hda2 /home ext3 noatime,user_xattr 0 3
I am not sure but I guess that xattr support is already compiled into
the default Ubuntu kernel otherwise if you're not already able to
configure and compile a linux kernel on your own I bet you'll find
plenty of HOWTOs on the Internet.
Hoping this will help you,
Cheers
Marco
