Sorry late reply. The output is just to show what happen after I transfer a file from OS X to XFS that has EA bigger then 64k(I think). When I try for example to rsync this file from OS X to Linux XFS I get this error:
rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/srv/nas/home/apple_bak_rsync/xxxxxx/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database/BigBlobs.apdb"","user.com.apple.FinderInfo") failed: Operation not permitted (1)

But also rsync can give this error.
rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/srv/danne/extern2/1000_EXT/2013/2013-03-05/IMG_6872-Edit.tif"","user.com.apple.ResourceFork") failed: Argument list too long (7)

Is this 2 errors related?

I will make a bug report for rsync also that it should not try to copy files with EA bigger then the destination can handle. But it would be great if XFS could handle this files and be fully compatible with OS X backups.
