[zfs-discuss] Extended attributes in ZFS
Hi Peter, Yes, ZFS supports extended attributes. The runat.1 and fsattr.5 man pages are good places to start. Cindy Peter Reiher wrote:> Does ZFS currently support actual use of extended attributes? If so, where can I find some documentation that describes how to use them?
