      Description

      Under Linux extended attributes are supported but not activated by default on most filesystems (ext2, ext3, ext4, ...).
      So remounting the partition is necessary for Drive to work:

      sudo mount -oremount,user_xattr /dev/sda3
      

      This is added in the installation documentation for Linux https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-drive/#ubuntudebian-and-other-linux-variants-client

      The fact that Drive won't start without this option can be a problem.

      Under OS X, HFS+ filesystems support extended attributes by default, but if a user decides to put the Drive files on another filesystem type this might not be the case, preventing Drive from working.
