Not only.
OS/2 uses EAs a lot, e.g. the WPS (the explorer.exe equivalent from Windows) stores windows positions, sort options, and many more this way.
but it's absence shouldn't prevent you from normal work with shares.
Yeah. I suppose so. With Samba 2.2.x I could work with shares with the WPS: the only problem was I lost window positions, sort options, icons, and so on at every client reboot. I could easily live with that though.
With 3.x things got seriously worse.
But I guess, this is the question for investigation with Jeremy.
Yes.
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.
Perfetct! Thanks.
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.
I'll try.
Still, I suspect that EA support has minimal impact on the problem you experience with file operations...
Well, simply turning ea support on or off, even without your patches, changes client behaviour :-O
bye & Thanks
