Basically, EA support is luxiory that let you store DOS attributes in a nicer way, but it's absence shouldn't prevent you from normal work with shares. But I guess, this is the question for investigation with Jeremy. As for the EA support in FreeBSD 5.x itself - I've just send bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2576 And hope that it'll go into 3.0.14 as well. You may try to take this patches and apply them to the SVN code - they apply cleanly on 3.0.13, so the chances are high that you won't get any problems(with patching). Then try SVN build again. As for 3.0.12_1 - I do run it at home and at least with W2K all the attributes are stored properly on UFS2 partition. BTW, don't forget, you may need this set of lines in your smb.conf to get things work: store dos attributes = yes map hidden = no map system = no map archive = no I'm very interested how this staff works with other client OSes. Still, I suspect that EA support has minimal impact on the problem you experience with file operations...
