That's currently a limitation of Flexo, it requires a file system that supports extended attributes.
Can you describe your use case, i.e., why are you using Flexo with NFS? Why not just install Flexo on the server that is hosting the NFS instead?
I might reconsider the extended attributes requirement, but there are other trade offs involved, so I just need to understand what benefits people expect from running Flexo on a network filesystem.
I use Flexo on Docker servers that have the storage connected via NFS so that you can quickly move to another Docker host.
Then I will still wait the support for extended attributes should be available soon. Linux Kernel 5.9 can do that now only TrueNAS is missing.
If this is going to be supported in the future (or maybe it is already supported), then no changes are required for Flexo, so I'm closing this for now.
For the record: Flexo does not use extended attributes anymore, so it should work fine with NFS or other file systems.
The program panicked because extended attributes are not supported in NFS.
