Gluster users - Mar 2009 - extended attributes of the backend file system question

Hello 
   If i use Replicate ,it is requiring extended attributes of the backend file
system so i  modified /etc/fstab
   LABEL=/data               /data                 ext3    
defaults,user_xattr,acl        1 2
   Is this right ? How  can i validate it ? 

   Thanks

GlusterFS needs extended attribute in 'trusted.xxxxx' domain, hence the
user_xattr should not matter. Also, we have disabled 'acl' support as of
now, as it had some bugs which showed up if we enable it.

The posix translator (the one which exports the backend directory to
glusterfs/fuse) has a check to verify extended attributes. If its not
supported, it will fail to initiate. So, if your glusterfsd process starts
fine, that means you can use replicate in glusterfs.
