I've already submitted the patch to libarchive. If anybody would like to view the changes the diff can be seen at: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/42/files It remains quite basic so I'm open to suggestions for improvement. The question of archiving the system namespace extattrs instead has been brought up. Based on my limited understanding the system extattrs aren't supposed to be accessed that way, which is why the patch doesn't do that. It would however bypass some of the issues the current solution needs to deal with. Priit.
