dump command - does it save extended attributed, ACLs and SELinux settings on ext4 filesystems?
I'd like to use dump(8) for dumping an ext4 filesystem for transport to another system. However, it is not clear from research that I have come across as to whether the dump/restore pair will transfer file extended attributes, Selinux labels, and ACLs.
Anybody know for sure?

Seems to work as far as I can tell, had to harass some people to crate an environment for me for testing. Still is this a definitive answer as I don't see much in the man pages about this.

The ext2/3/4 dump supports extended attributes (xattr) since 2006 or earlier:
Dump fully supports extended attributes. However, there were some issues
with this support in some versions of dump and/or restore, so I'd
suggest you upgrade to the latest version (0.4b41).

ACLs and SElinux security contexts are stored as extended attributes.
