baudolo 7.1.x writes volume generations with `rsync -aHAX`, so the producing host keeps `user.*` extended attributes (OpenCloud keeps its storage metadata in `user.oc.*`). Every later copy dropped them again, because none of the other rsync calls passed `-X` (nor `-A`/`-H`): - NFS export snapshots (svc-bkp-nfs-2-local `script.sh`), - the backup host's pull (svc-bkp-remote-2-local `pull_specific_host.py`), - the device sync (svc-bkp-local-2-device `script.py`), - every recover into a live target (`utils/recovery/base.py`, used by the volume, NFS and device recover scripts), - the `recover full` and `recover remote` tree pulls. A disaster recovery through the documented chain therefore restored OpenCloud without `user.oc.*`, silently: the copies succeeded and the dirval stamp does not cover attributes. All of these now run `rsync -aHAX` (`-aHAXP` for the device sync). A target filesystem without xattr support makes rsync exit non-zero as soon as a source file carries attributes, so the hop fails loudly instead of dropping them; there is no per-device opt-out. The single-image pull in `recover remote` keeps `-a`. The provider's ssh-wrapper needs no change: its glob accepts any server flags and its character guard allows them. Two tests write a `user.oc.id` attribute and assert it survives the NFS snapshot and the recover; with the old `-a` both fail with `OSError: [Errno 61] No data available`.

Shared Utilities (utils/)
This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.
Purpose
Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:
library/modules,plugins/action/,plugins/filter/,plugins/lookup/.
Typical shared utilities:
- API clients,
- validation/conversion helpers,
- path and configuration helpers,
- cross-plugin/module domain logic.
- Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
- Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
- Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
- Grouped helper packages such as
utils/domains/for related domain logic.
Design Guidelines
- Keep helpers focused and composable.
- Avoid side effects during import.
- Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
- Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.
Example Import
from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain
What Does Not Belong Here
- Standalone executable modules (put in
library/). - Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in
plugins/*).
