No, there is currently no Linux filesystem with the NTFS semantics. I think ext4 might have larger EA support, but there is no Linux filesystem I know of with unlimited EA's and ACL support. No Linux filesystem supports streams that I know of. Streams are a really bad idea. Ted Tso convinced me of this when he showed me a Windows machine running README.txt as a binary (containing a virus of course). Streams are pretty dangerous and mostly used to hide malware from admins.
