15.6 Error on Copying or Deleting Files When Extended Attributes Are Not Enabled

When copying or deleting files that have extended attributes, Client for Open Enterprise Server displays the error Not enough free disk space or Path cannot be found. To resolve this issue, you must enable extended attributes on the file system:

  1. Run the following command to verify if extended attributes are enabled on the file system:

    tune2fs -l Device |grep Default mount options

    If the value of Default mount options is None, enable extended attributes on the file system.

  2. To enable extended attributes on the file system, run the following commands:

    tune2fs -o user_xattr Device

    mount -o remount Device

    When extended attributes are enabled, the value of Default mount options is user_xattr.

    The value of Device is the device or path where the file system is mounted. It can be found at /etc/fstab.
