[Bug 469664] Re: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on
eCryptfs doesn't support lsattr. It is an ext[345] specific tool that
is shipped in e2fsprogs. It simply just isn't supposed to work on
eCryptfs.

Bug description:
karmic
using lsattr on any files in my home gives me the following msg
Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on test-file
the system is ext4.
weird thing is if I try on a file outside /home/$USER it works correctly.
outside /home/$USER means for example /home/otheruser, /etc ...
I just filed another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469571). I don't know if there is something connected as in the other bug it's about the opposite. everything I try to trash in my /home goes to the trash while everything for elsewhere can only be deleted direclty.
