For some more info and recommendations on extended attributes you can look here:

FWIW, I have this in my fstab:
/dev/mapper/vg_kuru-lv_home /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 1 2
Thanks, Suvayu, once again. Following your suggestions, I was able to
fix the problem by adding
user_xattr
to the line of my fstab file
/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home ext4
defaults 1 2
after 'defaults'. That line now looks like
/dev/mapper/vg_new--host-lv_home /home ext4
defaults,user_xattr 1 2
