gocryptfs Feature request: chattr +i

Feature request: chattr +i

It sounds like 1.5+ should have xattr support, referring to #217.

When I chattr +i a file, I get: chattr: Function not implemented while reading flags on (name of file)

Is there something I'm missing for this?

gocryptfs does have xattr support, however, chattr is a different beast. gocryptfs does not support chattr +i, sorry.

I see, thank you. Would it be possible to add such support?

chattr +i needs root priviliges, right?

Yes it does.

So this means that gocryptfs has to be started as root for this to work. Not sure if this would still be useful to you?

Yes, I'm expecting to run gocryptfs as root in this case.
