In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.
The system namespace (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is
not supported at this time.
If unsure, say Y.
