  1. I understand now--thank you for the clarification!
  2. Thank you for the clarification, RomanZ. Could you explain then why you suggested adding the xattrs to the .SyncIgnore file of the Macs? Based on my understanding of how .SyncIgnore works from the manual, this action will keep the Macs from synchronizing the xattrs with each other (in addition to preventing them from synchronizing with Linux). Thanks again!
  3. Roman, Could you clarify this statement? Does this mean that two Mac peers cannot sync xattrs to each other if there is a Linux computer (or possibly any other non-Mac OS) as a peer? If so, that's kind of disappointing. I would have hoped there would be a way for the Macs to sync xattrs to each other while the other OS's simply ignore them. For this to be compatible with .SyncIgnore, I guess the ignore file would need to work in the opposite way that it currently does--i.e. it would need to filter files from being synchronized to the peer on which it resides rather than filtering files synchronized to other peers. Maybe btsyc itself could be modified to improve the handling of xattrs? Thanks!
