The root of the problem seems to be an asymmetry in how Samba maps
filesystem to Windows EAs and back. For SMB_INFO_SET_EA it's
foo (Windows) ---> user.foo (filesystem)
whereas SMB_INFO_QUERY_ALL_EAS map as
user.foo (filesystem) ---> foo (Windows)
other.bar (filesystem) ---> other.bar (Windows)
This means
a) the Windows side cannot distinguish between other.bar and
user.other.bar, and
b) a copy operation via Samba turns other.bar into user.other.bar
(leading to the issue at hand because the user.* EA namespace is off
by default in Lustre).
So rather than adding a VFS module filtering some EAs, why not
just make the mapping symmetric, ie.
diff --git a/source3/smbd/smb2_trans2.c b/source3/smbd/smb2_trans2.c
index 95cecce96e1..31a7a04a72c 100644

What am I missing?
Kind regards,
