Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2011-12-01 01:04:56 MSK

In the live system from theSimply Linux 6.0.2RC2 DVD, attr is not installed, although it contains basic helpful utilities for setting the properties of files in filesystems, for example, turning on/off compression in ntfs-3g -- http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/data-compression/ :

# Mark a directory for compression (on a small-endian computer)
setfattr -h -v 0x00080000 -n system.ntfs_attrib directory-name
# Disable compression for files to be created in a directory
setfattr -h -v 0x00000000 -n system.ntfs_attrib directory-name

I suggest to add "attr" to the live system, so that such properties of files on mounted filesystems could be managed from the live system.
