8 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will allow clients to attempt to store OS/2 style Extended
9 attributes on a share. In order to enable this parameter the underlying filesystem exported by
10 the share must support extended attributes (such as provided on XFS and EXT3 on Linux, with the
11 correct kernel patches). On Linux the filesystem must have been mounted with the mount
12 option user_xattr in order for extended attributes to work, also
13 extended attributes must be compiled into the Linux kernel.</para>
