The things with EAs (called xattrs under Linux) and Linux are it has to be enabled in the kernel, which it most likely is for most distributions, I believe it also has to be enabled when mounting a file system or in /etc/fstab and not all file systems support xattrs good enough for use with OS/2, eg ext2, ext3 and ext4 only support 4kbs of xattrs, some other file systems don't support any and only a few such as JFS support them well.
If you decide to use JFS, it's best to format under OS/2 as Linux supports the OS/2 version of JFS but OS/2 will not read Linux formatted JFS.
So they have to be enabled and you need to be using a file system that supports them and quite possibly Samba also needs to have them enabled.
