I just committed a change to the extended attribute backing code that
modifies the per-attribute header. The result is that backing files used
and created from now on have a different format, and weird and unfortunate
things will happen with backing files before this change. I doubt anyone
is doing more than mild experimentation at this point, but I thought a
heads up was in order.
I hope not to change the format any further. I've been considering
introducing a backing file header version number of some sort, but this is
only necessary if we think the backing file format will change much more.
Comments welcome.
