Hi Ricky,

I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be looking for in bin/config.log;
is there a specific string that can point me in the right direction?

No change when I swop the user_xattr,acl options, nor when I do a manual
remount (mount -o remount,acl,user_xattr). However, I must clarify that
getfacl, setfacl, getfattr and setfattr work perfectly.
