I also test glusterfs_sexattr on directory at 3.0.3. It still writes attributes 
on one of distributed volume.

Yes, thats the expected behavior. As an user/admin, you don't have to go 
through the backend behavior of GlusterFS. 'cluster/distribute' module takes 
care of writing extended attribute on the hashed directory, and will return the 
proper xattr, when done over the mountpoint.

Let us know why do you think sending setxattr on all the backend directories is 
necessary.
