I settled on a HpMediaVault which can use 2 700Gig drives and so on...

I think I had peer working with it but decided to go with NetDrive and 
samba.

It is linux based and has the suport for EAs compiled in but in a 
default form it would not support them.

The NAS has a Yahoo group supported by one of the designers. From the 
posts I figured out how to add software to the NAS with a startup 
script.  After the NAS is booted, I swap in the smb.conf with EAs 
enabled, and then have the NAS samba reread the config file.  After that 
EAs work.

Additionally, I compiled the busybox syslogd and all my machines forward 
to the NAS.

It really is a nice unit and very quiet.
