Thanks for the tip. I also checked with dump2fs as suggested by Magnus
Therning in the other reply, and it in fact lists "Default mount
options: user_xattr"

However, when I execute "mount", it still says:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

I.e., user_xattr is not mentioned. How do I know that
gnome-volume-manager's mount command does not override the default
setting?

Kind regards,
Mario
