HAMMER extended attributes (extattr)

[Michael Neumann <mneumann@xxxxxxxx>]

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
