being enabled by default?
I think it's because Arch doesn't use SELinux by default, as it's mostly for ACLs.
Neither selinux nor ACL have anything to do with this options. Read man 5 attr.
"They are often used to provide additional functionality to a filesystem - for example, additional security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes." That's what I read. I may be wrong, of course. Priit
