Right now my understanding is that origin xattr is created for all copied up files if index=on. And if index=off, then we create it for all type of files except hardlinks (nlink != 1). With metadata only copy up, I will still require origin xattr to copy up data later, so create it even for hardlinks even with index=off. I am hoping it does not break anything because we do OVL_INDEX test before using inode number of origin.
