Robert, thanks for information.
We can implement getxattr/setxattr using opennat() in case we port sheepdog onto native SmartOS zone. If we run sheepdog on a centos lx brand zone, which is more preferable, we still face the problem that these two interfaces are not supported by the lx evaluation. Any idea to make it work on lx brand zone? Thanks.

While it seems like you've already discovered the answer to your first question, I thought I'd go through and answer this in a bit more detail. So, first off, both platforms support extended attributes. The interfaces for both of them are different though. On illumos, if you read http://illumos.org/man/5/fsattr, you'll see how you can open them. So for example, in this case, while glibc provides the getxattr() and setxattr() interfaces, you can implement them in terms of openat() and O_XATTR through a translation library. It might not be the worst thing.
