PS:

I might be mistaken, but IIRC the last Linux installs I've seen with tar
not providing to archive extended attributes were Suse 11.2 and
other from that time around 2009/2010. I've got a Suse 11.2 install with
vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop, vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-rt19 and
vmlinuz-2.6.33.5-rt23, so you might get an idea how dated those
installs are regarding development. Unfortunately I can't take a quick
look at the tar man pages or tar version, since systemd-nspawn doesn't
work for this vintage Suse install.

[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# systemd-nspawn -bqD /mnt/suse11.2
Directory /mnt/suse11.2 doesn't look like an OS root directory (os-release file is missing). Refusing.
