I also test glusterfs_sexattr on directory at 3.0.3. It still writes attributes on one of distributed volume.

Yes, thats the expected behavior. As an user/admin, you don't have to go through the backend behavior of GlusterFS. 'cluster/distribute' module takes care of writing extended attribute on the hashed directory, and will return the proper xattr, when done over the mountpoint.

Let us know why do you think sending setxattr on all the backend directories is necessary.
