openat() isn't really what he wants. These aren't user-level xattrs, they're ones which affect the file system, or more specifically, a particular file. I don't think the particular xattrs in question (or analogous ones) exist for ZFS at this point. This message posted from opensolaris.org _

So the problem in the zfs send/receive thing, is what if your network glitches out during the transfers? We have these once a day due to some as-yet-undiagnosed switch problem, a chop-out of 50 seconds or so which is enough to trip all our IPMP setups and enough to abort SSH transfers in progre
