It could hold the default size for autocreated attributes. (e.g.: options UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOCREATE=1024 to get 1024 bytes long attributes).Here is a patch that implements this option. Is it reasonable to commit it?
I can't comment on the content of the patch itself, but I am definitely in favor of moving toward default support for extended attributes, and this _seems_ like a good start. Thank you for working on this.
