I'm trying to get a script working however I'm having issues with a particular line trying to set file attributes with setfattr. 

The line in question is 

ret=os.system('setfattr -n "user.dummy" -v "dummy" /apachelogs/data/file')


The fstab output of this location is as follows. 

/dev/sdb1 /apachelogs          reiserfs    user,noauto,rw,exec,suid,user_xattr        0       2


Returns the error message:

setfattr: /apachelogs/data/file: Operation not supported


Can anyone give me any advice on what I might be doing wrong? My google-fu is only telling me that the problem usually occurs when someone doesn't prefix user on the first variable. 

Cheers.
