Can the filesystem-nio2 not use Xattrs ?

Hello gaul! Can the filesystem-nio2 not use Xattrs? We mount a NFS as the backend, it doesn't support Xattrs.

Yeah I could add this functionality, similar to how the older filesystem provider works around lack of support. jimfs makes this easy to test (although I used libnoattr last time to do this). I wonder if fuse_xattrs is a better solution though? Or actually it seems that NFSv4 on Linux has supported xattr at least since version 5.9: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.9#NFS_support_for_extended_attributes . Does this not work for you?

Thank you, I will try fuse-xattrs. We have many machines whose kernel versions have not yet reached 5.9.
