Compatibility with Older Systems RHEL 7

If an ACL has been set on any file on a given file system, that file system has the ext_attr attribute. This attribute can be seen using the following command:

# tune2fs -l filesystem-device

A file system that has acquired the ext_attr attribute can be mounted with older kernels, but those kernels do not enforce any ACLs which have been set.
Versions of the e2fsck utility included in version 1.22 and higher of the e2fsprogs package (including the versions in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 4) can check a file system with the ext_attr attribute. Older versions refuse to check it.

HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES IN LINUX

Have you ever gotten that horrible feeling? The one you get when you realize that you  accidentally deleted files  and it’s not even in the trash? Often it is immediately preceded by denial: I know I have another copy of it somewhere. But rather than going through all the stages of grief, don’t worry. And remember you’re not alone; sooner or later everyone does this. “Don’t worry?” you counter, “I just erased the only copy of my resume!” No really, don’t worry. All that’s happened is that it’s been bumped off a list. So long as you don’t write onto the drive, it absolutely still exists. In fact, depending on the size of the file and the free space on your drive deleted files can persist indefinitely—even if you do write on the drive. “Yes, fine” you say, “I’ll rest easy knowing my resume ‘exists’ in some abstract sense. But so far as I’m concerned if I can’t open, edit or print from it, it doesn’t exist in any practical sense. What would really help would be a w...
