samba - Mar 2019 - Enable XAT_OFFLINE extended attribute in Samba

Hello,

Does Samba support XAT_OFFLINE and XAT_ONLINE extended attribute?
I have enabled "ea support = yes" but it seems to have no effect on
that.

Thanks
Andrea

Googling for XAT_OFFLINE or XAT_ONLINE doesn't return anything.

Do you mean the Windows FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE attribute ?

If so, yes, we support that if the server is using dmapi.

Yeh, my Googlefu is better than somebody who works for Google ;-)

It seems to be something to do with ZFS on illumos:
