This site hosts extended attribute and access control list kernel patches for the 2.4 kernel series (ext2, ext3, nfs) and for the 2.6 kernel series (nfs). The 2.6 kernel already includes support for ext2, ext3, jfs and xfs. A few patches for user tools are found here, too.
The libraries and user tools for working with EAs and ACLs that used to be available here are available from the XFS web site now. The download page refers to some vendor specific versions of these packages.
Additional file system EA and ACL patches are available elsewhere:
