The extended attributes used by CernVM-FS cause trouble in some scenarios, for example when files are being copied from the mounted CVMFS repository into another type of filesystem (see for example easybuilders/easybuild-framework#3910).
That can be avoided by enabling CVMFS_HIDE_MAGIC_XATTRS in the client configuration, so the extended attributes are not exposed on the client.

@huebner-m ran into issues with our build container, lots of file operations were returning No space left on device. I also encountered this myself when trying to overwrite some files in the compatibility layer inside the build container. After some debugging I found out that it only happens with CVMFS 2.9.x, which reminded me of the issue with the additional extended attributes. Setting CVMFS_HIDE_MAGIC_XATTRS=yes in default.local of the build container solves the issue, so I'll make a PR to change this.
