Thanks, Lukas.

For the time being, I am thinking that until ZFS or BtrFS are fully
tested and ready on NetBSD, it may be wiser to stick with a filesystem
that is ready and mature. So I am turning my attention to NetBSD's
native filesystem.

Can someone tell me if the native NetBSD filesystem has a good support
for Extended Attributes? In particular, what are the limitations to
the maximum size that can be taken up by the extended attributes of a
file?

Thanks
