Hi Alan,

Thanks for the clarification of the previous mail. I have explored some 
other scenarios and observed the following behavior in Windows and Solaris.
The behavior mentioned at points 1and 2 in each platform needs 
attention.  Could you please tell me whether behavior mentioned at 
points 1 and 2  is expected?

In all the following scenarios source directory has named attributes 
associated with it.

Windows:
1) moving an empty directory from one NTFS volume to another NTFS volume 
does not retain the named attributes.
2) copying a non empty directory with CopyAttributes copy option does 
not copy the named attributes.
3) renaming a directory does retain the named attributes.

Solaris
1) moving an empty directory from one location to other location (within 
the same partition) retains the named attributes (In Windows it does not 
work)
2) copying a non empty directory to another directory with 
COPYATTRIBUTES option does not copy the named attributes.
3) renaming a directory does retain the named attributes.

Thanks
Rajendra.
