Very nice to know, I was aware about EAs not of ACLs, are tehy in
official kernels?
I do not use proprietarized distributions so SuSe and such are not an
option I consider.

Besides that, if it is in an official kernel have you tested them with
samba?
Are they Posix compliant?
Can you give me some more info on them? API?
