Frank,

Sorry for the late response. Someone has posted the answer to your samba 
question which worked for me.

Now to the EAs, the mediavault will run a script during boot which was 
listed on the yahoo group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/HPMediaVault/

In that script I start twonky media server, copy smb.conf and restart 
samba, and start syslogd.

The mediavault firmware is compiled with EAs enabled but the smb.conf 
file can not be configured to enable them and the smb.conf changes do 
not last past normal change.

So, I run the following at boot:

#!/bin/sh

# copy over smb.conf with ea support enabled
cp /shares/Volume1/ShareApps/opt/etc/smb.conf /tmp/samba/lib/smb.conf
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config


This is an example of a smb.conf file I restart with, notice
ea support = yes


[sysbackups]
        comment =
        path = /shares/Volume2/sysbackups
        writeable = yes
        browsable = yes
        inherit permissions = yes
        inherit acls = yes
        ea support = yes
        msdfs root = no
        invalid users = "ngreene", "sgreene",
"transfer", "anonymous",
        read list =
        write list = "mgreene",

Mike
