-------------------------------------------

extended attributes are not interpreted by the system and are instead used by
applications to store additional information about an inode.

I saw this line. This is saying Xattrs can not be interpreted by System. But
the xattrs with system/security name will be used only by system. So, we should
not generically say that Xattrs can not be interpreted by system? Please
correct me I interpreted this line wrongly :-)
Let me know if we need to change this, then I wil file a follow-up JIRA as it
is already committed.
