Hi,

I'd like to use DragonFly with HAMMER as a file server using Samba but noticed that recent versions of Windows like to store extended attributes [1] to files. Now I am wondering if it would be a good idea to add extattr support to HAMMER or not. Extattrs might cause more trouble than they are worth, and it is possible anyway to store extattrs in an external database (managed by the application, Samba) if it is not supported by the filesystem. What is your opinion on that?

Regards,

  Michael
