This means that the dumped file has some EA (extended attributes, as
visible with getfattr(1), not to be confused with ext2 attributes, which
are listed by lsattr(1)).

Restore is trying to restore the EA, and the syscall fails. There can be
multiple reasons for that:
	* the target filesystem does not support EA
	* the target filesystem does support EA but it is not mounted with the
needed mount options (user_xattr for example)
	* the kernel does not support EA
