I'm ready to test this out. I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.5.0-45-generic. Do I need to add the "user_xattr" flag to the fstab entry for my home folder for this to work?
If you are using ext3 then yes, if you are using ext4 then extended attributes are enabled by default. You can use the following to test whether extended attributes are enabled: touch ~/.xattr_test && setfattr -n 'user.testAttr' -v 'attribute value' ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null; getfattr ~/.xattr_test 2>&1 | grep -q user.testAttr && echo 'It works!' || echo 'No extended attribute support!'; rm ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null
