Hi,

On Mac

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>touch test.txt

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>xattr -w com.test.org hello test.txt 

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>ls -al@ test.txt
-rw-r--r--@ 1 ianm  staff  0 23 Apr 10:33 test.txt
	com.apple.macl	72 
	com.test.org	5 

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>xattr -l test.txt 
com.apple.macl: 
com.test.org: hello

vfs objects =

Mount samba share
Copy file to share

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>ls -al@ /Volumes/ianm/test.txt
-rwx------  1 ianm  staff  0 23 Apr 10:33 /Volumes/ianm/test.txt

vfs objects = xattr_tdb acl_xattr
restart samba
remount volume

Copy file from mac to share

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>ls -al@ /Volumes/ianm/test.txt
-rwx------@ 1 ianm  staff  0 23 Apr 10:33 /Volumes/ianm/test.txt
	com.apple.macl	72 
	com.test.org	5 

kristamari-w1:~/Desktop>xattr -l /Volumes/ianm/test.txt
com.apple.macl: 
com.test.org: hello


So it appears that xattr_tdb is storing extended attributes.
