Extended attributes must use a specific namespace, such as "user." or  
"system."

Try setfattr -n user.harry -v test /mnt/storage/test

Perhaps pre 3.8 kernels allowed any namespace to be used; if so, this  
must've been undocumetned, because attr(5) was quite explicit, about this,  
for a long time.
