I have confirmed EA support in the FS, and presumably the kernel, since I 
get this when setting and getting an attr:

[root at ADMIN3 console]# attr -s test -V blah samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz
Attribute "test" set to a 4 byte value for samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz:
blah
[root at ADMIN3 console]# attr -g test samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz
Attribute "test" had a 4 byte value for samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz:
blah

I have added 'ea support=yes' to smb.conf, restarted samba, but still no 
luck on either a Redhat SGI/XFS 7.2 system, or a Mandrake 10.1 XFS 
system. The samba docs refer to a 'user_xattr' mount option, which 
doesn't exist for XFS, but EAs are working with 'attr'. 

Can I narrow down the smb log searching with a specific debug class?
