206	the NDFS32 file system can handle EAs, at least with SMB plugin	Yuri Dario	bird	"Also the NDFS32 file system driver can handle extended attributes, at least with SMB plugin. Probably also the local and ramfs plugins could too.

Unfortunately this feature depends on the plugin used and so it depends on the mounted resource. This means a NDFS32 drive can handle EAs for some directories only.

The following patch enables EAs for NDFS32 too:

I wonder what happens if drives are added/removed while a libc program is running, not only for netdrive but also for lvm.
