Then here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes> they say:
Windows NT
«On Windows NT, limited-length extended attributes are supported by FAT,[19] HPFS, and NTFS. This was implemented as part of the OS/2 subsystem. They are notably used by the NFS server of the Interix POSIX subsystem in order to implement Unix-like permissions. The Windows Subsystem for Linux added in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update uses them for similar purposes, storing the Linux file mode, owner, device ID (if applicable), and file times in the extended attributes.[21]
OK, fair enough. NT 3.1 and 3.5 fully supported HPFS. NT 3.51 could use it but not format disks with HPFS. NT 4 removed it completely although you could add the driver from 3.51 back in. NT 5 (Windows 2000) blocked even that. I should have allowed for that. I thought EAs on FAT only came in with OS/2 2 and later, but I checked before posting and discovered they were in OS/2 1.2 and 1.3 -- which Microsoft was involved in, so it would make sense that MS would support them in the versions of NT that supported the OS/2 Subsystem. My bad. I corrected one part of the message but not the rest.
Notice [19] on the wikipedia excerpt above :-)
Yep, that's where I got the link from, via a different route. :-)

Hm. It's on the SUSE keyserver. Which one are you using? -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
