This filesystem provides xattr support using sidecar files.
The latest version and more information can be found on https://github.com/fbarriga/fuse_xattrs
Once fuse_xattrs is installed (see next section) running it is very simple:
fuse_xattrs source_directory mountpoint
To unmount the filesystem:
fusermount -u mountpoint
Archlinux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fuse_xattrs/):
yaourt -S fuse_xattrs
First you need to download FUSE 2.9 or later from https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse.
