ffs extended attributes status

[Peter Kelm <peter_kelm%yahoo.com@localhost>]

Hello,

what is the status of extended attributes in NetBSD ffs. From what I  
read ffsv2/UFS2 should support them but it seems like I cannot get  
them to work.
I tried to use the python version of xattr (0.4) but all I get is  
"IOError: [Errno 45] Operation not supported: './thetestfile". Are  
there any specific kernel or filesystem options to enable them?

Using NetBSD 5.0.1 on cobalt.

Best Regards,

Peter
