Ve-xattr-policy

A new sysctl entry fs.ve-xattr-policy (file /proc/sys/fs/ve-xattr-policy on the HN) has been implemented and is available in RHEL5 kernels since 028stab0644.4. It allows you to control how to react when xattr changes from inside a Container.

Three options can be used:

0

accept any xattr modifications (Container 0 always and regular containers by default)

1

ignore

2

reject

Note: If you assign any other value to "ve-xattr-policy", the policy will be set to "accept".
