I have Samba 3.4.7 installed and running though I cannot get extended
attributes to work completely.
If this version of Samba will support it, I want to configure my shares to
preserve the create and modified date information for my Windows files. At
present, create date is set to the modified; though the accessed date is
correct.
I have formatted my RAID in ext4 and enabled extended user attributes. I
have checked the extended attribute functions with getattr and setattr
commands.
In the global section of my smb.conf file, I have the following set:
ea support = yes
store dos attributes = yes
map readonly = no
map archive = no
map system = no
map hidden = no
When I run testparm, only the map archive, and map readonly are listed for
some reason.
I have searched through numerous threads looking for a solution, and it
seemed this was not commonly used feature.
If there are workarounds, I would entertain them.
