Description Amar Tumballi 2011-09-21 09:02:24 UTC

even if a 'getxattr(user.attribute)' is done from filesystem, inside glusterfs, it is fetching all the extended attributes till fuse level.

As 'getxattr()' is also behaving like a 'listxattr()' in glusterfs [the difference is 'name' arg is NULL or not], we should honor the 'name' parameter if set.

CHANGE: http://review.gluster.com/486 (Currently, getxattr works like listxattr, and does not honor a call) merged in master by Vijay Bellur (vijay)
