[Dump-users] dump/restore NFS and EA

[Brian K. <br...@kr...>]

Hi,

Is there a way to exclude xattr from dumps?

I am dump/restoring over the network via NFS and keep getting EA  
errors even though I have selinux disabled.

An example of an error;

restore: ./etc/ysyconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: EA set  
security.selinux:system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 failed: Operation not  
supported.

I understand the NFS doesn't preserve xattr and when I do lsxattr, I  
get nothing in terms of extended attributes used.

My command;

dump -f - / | restore -r -f -

Should I pipe dump to ssh or rsync to avoid NFS and xattr issues?
