Hi, I want to disable extended attributes in my zfs on s10u4. I found out that the command to do is zfs set xattr=off <poolname>. But, I do not see this option in s10u4. How can I disable zfs extended attributes on s10u4? I''m not in the zfs-discuss alias. Please respond to me directly. Thanks Balaji

My apologies. I''m using s10u3 only. The question is, is it possible to set the attributes off in s10u3? Thanks, balaji

The xattr property and support for legacy mounts with -onoxattr weren''t added until s10u4. -Chris
