I use btrfs on one of my machines, and that filesystem (apparently) does not support XATTR_PAX markings. So on every update I get some packages with message like these: >>> Messages generated for package app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0.1 by process 2675 on 20151013-150646 CEST: LOG: install Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-system-aarch64. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-system-alpha. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-system-i386. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-system-x86_64. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-aarch64. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-alpha. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-i386. Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -me qemu-x86_64. Two things about this: the message is not really useful, unless I know what -me does. Also, I never requested anything PaX-ish, I just don't want to to have SUID binaries when I can avoid it. By now the messages are just an annoyance/spam to me, but I suspect this may be more of a problem for people who have lower pain thresholds.
