This "default EA" is not handled/returned by CIFS. cifs.ko can save/return new EAs set by the user and even return a couple pseudo-EAs (cifs.dosattrib for example) if that EA is queried explicitly in order to return metadata (important flags needed for backup etc.) - but this "user.security.selinux" "default EA" is not returned by the cifs.ko code. -- Thanks, Steve
