We have a problem copying OS2 files with EA's to samba server from an OS2 client. Looks like there is another bug similar, but our bug seems to be more simple. Not using ea support in smb.conf OS2 client says : "The extended attributes for the file or directory were discarded because the target file system does not support them. 1 file(s) copied". (the file is normally copied with attributes.) Overwriting the same file : same message. Using the ea support in smb.conf OS2 client says : "The extended attributes for the file or directory were discarded because the target file system does not support them. 1 file(s) copied". (the file is normally copied with attributes.) BUT, overwriting the same file : no error message ! (the file is normally copied with attributes.) So, the problem is : copy files with EA's when target file does not exist.
I made a mistake. The OS2 EA's are never copied to Samba server. So, please read this post instead : We have a problem copying OS2 files with EA's to samba server from an OS2 client.

Different messages if file exists or not.
up !
can you retry with 3.4.1? Chances are good it works now. If problem still exists, please reopen this bug!
