Listing Extended Attributes
You can list extended attributes of files by using native operating system commands, or system calls. As part of GuardPoint administration, CTE can modify or delete extended attributes.
Note
This functionality is only available for local file systems. It is not supported for files in NFS Share GuardPoints.
In Linux, CTE-LDT attributes are set on GuardPoint directories and regular files in GuardPoint directories protected with CTE-LDT policies. The CTE extended attribute name is ::secfs:xattr:
.
The following examples use the native Linux operating system command attr
to display the CTE-LDT attribute for the GuardPoint /oxf-fs1/gp1
and the file /oxf-fs1/gp1/File_1.txt
.
