Hi Jean-Pierre,

I have installed the latest version ntfs-3g and mounted the ntfs partition with below command.

ntfsmount -o streams_interface=xattr,force /dev/sdb1 /root/mnt

Then, I am trying to get times of a file on target mount point. For that, using below command

getfattr -h -n system.ntfs_dos_name mnt/usplash-theme-ubuntu.c
Results is "mnt/usplash-theme-ubuntu.c: system.ntfs_dos_name: No such attribute"

Please guide me to get and set filetimes of a file on ntfs partition.

Thanks in advance

# file: mnt/dsdata/lan.log1
system.ntfs_times=0x007e04de73a0ca01807cac1b6672ca0100c0750ac795ca01007e04de73a0ca01
