> FileStore.supportsFileAttributeView might return a wrong value for ext3 mounts. In case of newer Linux distributions the extended attributes are enabled by default for ext3 mounts and do not show up /proc/mounts.
> Currently the mount table is parsed to determine whether the mount options contain user_xattr  or nouser_xattr. In case of neither entry it is expected that extended attributes are not supported on ext3. 
> 
> This change removes the special handling for ext3 and ext4 and will always probe the fs if none of the options above are found. This should ensure that we return the right value.
