Ah, thanks, that helps a lot!
Unfortunately, I'm unable to get extattr to function, I must be missing
something:
vm008# newfs -O1 ld1a
/dev/rld1a: 10240.0MB (20971520 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
using 56 cylinder groups of 182.86MB, 11703 blks, 23168 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
...
vm008# grep -w /d /etc/fstab
/dev/ld1a /d ffs rw,extattr 0 0
vm008# mount /d
mount_ffs: /dev/ld1a on /d: Operation not supported
vm008# mkdir -p /d/.attribute/user
vm008# mkdir -p /d/.attribute/system
vm008# umount /d
vm008# mount /d
mount_ffs: /dev/ld1a on /d: Operation not supported
vm008# mount
...
/dev/ld1a on /d type ffs (extattr, local)
vm008# ls -l /d/.attribute/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 3 16:49 system
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 3 16:49 user
The output of `dmesg` contains this:
/d: failed to start extattr: error = 45
When I mount without "extattr", and do a remount, `dmesg` shows a very
similar
/d: failed to start extattr, error = 0
Do you have any additional hints on what to check? Or, maybe I am
missing a dependency?

Aha, tests/include.rc contains those steps too. Not sure what I'm doing
wrong. I'm not installing from pkgsrc, but trying to debug a regression
failure on the master branch.
Thanks again,
Niels
