Uh xattr and acls on directories are not to uncommon in the UNIX world.

If you delete the file, all the ADS's go with it. Its probably much like how Solaris implements extended attributes with a separate naming space with again a complete filesystem structure. I coded that for bacula xattr support and while it may be very flexible its kind of hard to code (that is probably why the coding for Solaris xattr is about 3 x the size of the Linux or xBSD code.) > > > > > > .

Correct this doesn't play to well with the current design paradigm used for acl and xattrs. Like I said in a previous mail we might much around for backwards compatibility but we should seperate the streams for the future.
