'getfattr' to list all attributes of the files in the folder

Server Fault Asked by ThatKidMike on January 22, 2021

I’m having minor trouble with getting my head around it cause none of the tried commands does not display anything. I would like to check file attributes of the every file in the folder (including subfolders and so on).

Let’s assume I’m having a path: mainfolder/subfolder/file.txt – if I submit it directly like this:

getfattr -d /mnt/Users/Family/Documents/credentials.txt

It does the job and returns that there is some attribute. But now I’d like to search a whole folder like that for every file in every folder and subfolder. So I tried some of the ways of getting it but these returned nothing for me:

getfattr -d -m ^ -R -- <filename or directory>
getfattr -m - $your_path_or_file_name

I’m not even sure if it’s possible to list attributes like that in a recursive way. Can you help me out?

One Answer

You can dump them and then use awk

getfattr --dump * > xfatrrts.txt

Here you will find some tricks (in Greek).
