Subject: Re: xattr support in NFS?

A few years ago, SGI tried to promote "NFS3 XATTR", an extension to
NFSv3 to add xattr support. It roughly added 3 functions to the protocol
(GETXATTR, SETXATTR, LISTXATTR), in a similar way as what 9p.2000L does.
Nothing but IRIX had this NFSv3 feature. As far as I know, it remained
quite exotic and stayed a SGI's thing.
