The maximum size of + extended attributes depends on the Samba server's operating system + and the underlying filesystem. The Linux VFS currently sets an + upper boundary of 64 KiB per extended attribute. FreeBSD does not + set a practical upper limit, but since pread() and pwrite() are not + possible via the extattr on FreeBSD, it is not recommended to + increase this value above a few MiB. + + If a client attempts to write an overly-large alternate datastream, + the Samba server will return STATUS_FILESYSTEM_LIMITATION. + If this error is encountered, users may try increasing the maximum + size supported for xattr writes. If this is not possible, and + writes are from a MacOS client and to an AFP_Resource extended + attribute, the user may enable the vfs_fruit module and configure + to allow stream writes for AFP_Resource to an alternative storage + location.
