It does not matter if I use ls -la@ or xattr -l. Nothing is there.

I didn’t know that. I confirm client can’t do this with Apple SMB server either.
Thank you for info.

Are there any possible problems with this approach apart from convention/cleaner config?
Our Samba admin prefers it this way.

admin-apple # touch test.txt
admin-apple # setfattr -n user.test -v test test.txt
admin-apple # setfattr -n security.test -v test2 test.txt
admin-apple # getfattr -d test.txt
# file: test.txt
user.test="test"

admin-apple # getfattr -n security.test -d test.txt
# file: test.txt
security.test="test2"

From this output I conclude extended attributes are indeed supported on our storage array.
