Hi it is for the VFS, ext2 is selected in my .config. Concerning the filesystem, if the boot hasn't crashed until the start of /init means that it is correclty mounted (i suppose) In addition, the kernel does not output the well known message: "warning: unable to open an initial console", this means that it is able to open the /dev/console. I used initramfs support in order to mount the VFS, by supplying a config file to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE option. However, the getattr method has been initialized, but not the getxattr. Have you any idea what the problem could be? Thanks. 2012/9/24 Mulyadi Santosa <mulyadi.santosa@gmail.com>

Hello all,
What is the purpose of the inode->i_op->getxattr method?
I think it has something related to extended attribute
During the boot of linux-2.6.37 on a new architecture, it crashes in the get_vfs_caps_from_disk() function because of the following security check, (in my case, this field is ot initialized).
if (!inode || !inode->i_op->getxattr) return -ENODATA;
May I know, what's the filesystem type that code currently checks? And are you sure that filesystem is completely ok?
