Hi Volker,

        Today, I found a quite interesting problem on samba 3.2.1 with ext3
as backend filesystem. I thought that could be a breakpoint for this bug. 

        Bug reproduce steps:
        1. export a ext3 filesystem with xattr support through samba 3.2.1 
        2. On the server side, touch a file and setfattr as follows:
            $> touch testfile
            $> setfattr -n user.DosStream.whatever -v value testfile  //
Note: be sure to set the attribute as pattern : user.DosStream.*
            $> getfattr -d testfile           // check the file setting. 

        3. Map a driver on Windows client, and DELETE the "testfile" file.  
            // there you go, you would see a error message "cann't find the
specified file...."

        4. Things works well if the xattr pattern wasn't "user.DosStream.*".
And that's the funny place and also a potential breakpoint for the bug.
