Re: Fwd: Re: xattr "trusted" namespace

Since I don't usually do things on the "bleeding edge" of the Linux kernel, 
could you give me a "ballpark" idea of when a 'stable' kernel version that 
includes this functionality might be out?

I only need this support from the Linux client, as the target file is being served by a Windows server.  I have tried this using Centos (same package versions as RHEL) 6.4, and the writes all fail with the default client.  I am hoping that this has been addressed in a newer version of the CIFS client.
