Performing an rsync preserving extended attributes to a gluster volume may return errors that lsetxattr failed for "security.selinux" Operation not supported (95)

Issue

• When rsync is performed copying to a glusterfs destination and rsync includes options for preserving extended attributes, rsync may return errors such as:

rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/data/test"","security.selinux") failed: Operation not supported (95)

• The SELinux context for the gluster volumes shows: ‘system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0’

• The rsync operation completes apart from the error messages
