Oh, and if I may notice something more. Just my opinion.
It's going to be 'samba uses only' thing, as long as it's not in VFS.
xattrs are not so much needed as file streams there. So argument that
xattrs exists already in VFS, and are not used, so why do we need
streams there, and that it wouldn't change anything is just silly.
Btw, reiserfs4 on my laptop is providing very nice base for KDE source
tree (XFS sucked so much, I had to replace it). Saving me some time on
recompilation, and cvs up.
Thanks.
