Description
NetDrive 3.1.4 connecting to Thecus N2200EVO (XFS filesystem; ea support enabled in smb.conf). Plugin is 2.1.4 build GA-20130827.
Copying a directory tree with EAs attached to directories (e.g., C:\Desktop) results (from CMD.EXE and 4OS2.EXE) in only the first level directory receiving EAs.
Example:
H: is mapped to Samba share.
[C:\]xcopy c:\Desktop h:\Desktop /s/e/h/r/t Source files are being read... The extended attributes for the file or directory were discarded because the target file system does not support them.

Interestingly, files, no matter how deep, retain their EAs, and a second xcopy (or copy) pass will get the balance of the directory EAs copied. Note the same example as above, but after a repeat of the first command:
[C:\]dir h:\Desktop\Internet
The volume label in drive H is NETDRIVE.

Just tested with the following:
NetDrive plugins:
2.1.5 GA 20131003 2.2.0 Beta4 20140226 ndpsmb-samba_3.5-krb5-20150910
against OS/2 Samba server:
3.5.19
First copy of Desktop directory:
6-08-15 2:56 <DIR> 0 ____D . 6-08-15 2:56 <DIR> 0 ____D .. 6-08-15 3:01 <DIR> 124 ____D Apache OpenOffice 4.1 6-08-15 3:00 <DIR> 124 ____D Internet 6-08-15 3:00 <DIR> 124 ____D Local Network 6-08-15 3:00 <DIR> 124 ____D Local System 6-08-15 3:01 <DIR> 124 ____D Programs 6-08-15 3:01 <DIR> 124 ____D Templates 6-08-15 3:01 <DIR> 124 ____D Trash Can 6-08-15 3:01 <DIR> 124 ____D XWorkplace Installation
Note that .. actually does have EAs attached (it was the first level copied):
6-08-15 3:05 <DIR> 1,355 ____D Desktop
A second pass gets the EAs pushed (and the original noise about EAs not being supported is repeated during the second copy):
6-08-15 2:56 <DIR> 0 ____D .. 6-08-15 3:05 <DIR> 16,344 ____D Apache OpenOffice 4.1 6-08-15 3:04 <DIR> 18,860 ____D Internet 6-08-15 3:04 <DIR> 18,874 ____D Local Network 6-08-15 3:04 <DIR> 18,862 ____D Local System 6-08-15 3:04 <DIR> 18,866 ____D Programs 6-08-15 3:05 <DIR> 18,861 ____D Templates 6-08-15 3:05 <DIR> 696 ____D Trash Can 6-08-15 3:05 <DIR> 16,376 ____D XWorkplace Installation
(.. is still out of sync with reality.)
On the server machine, . has 1430 bytes EAs and .. has 1235. Also, Trash shows 771 bytes, and the other dirs are off by the same amount as Trash.
The behavior is consistent across client versions.
(Copying to NetWare CIFS, I get 0 bytes EAs consistently, and no errors reported. NetWare CIFS does not support EAs, though the filesystem does. The dropping of the EAs may not be reported because the CIFS implementation silently ignores them, and the client is then unaware that anything has been lost.)

Sorry, Silvan; missed the notification.
Log files too big to attach. We can snip them, but the complete logs are here:
ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/Samba/ticket-226/log.ndpsmb-1st-copy
ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/Samba/ticket-226/log.ndpsmb-2nd-copy
The 1st copy is the initial copy to the server showing only the first level EAs copied. The 2nd copy shows the EAs being copied, in spite of the error message that EAs are not supported.
These were taken with:
ndpsmb-samba_4.2.2-heimdal-20150626.zip
against Windows 2008 R2, over SMB3, though the transport protocol does not seem to matter (my initial tests were against NetWare CIFS, over SMB).

Once Paul checks his code in, we can close this bug. There are other EA issues to be sure, but this one is fixed (currently using ndpsmb-samba_4.2.2-heimdal-20150628b.zip).
what happens if you try the same to a eCS samba server?
