+# DESCRIPTION:
+# The default xattr should be shown as 'sa', not 'on', for clarity.
+#
+# STRATEGY:
+#	1. Create a filesystem.
+#	2. Verify that the xattra is shown as 'sa'.
+#	3. Manually set the value to 'dir', 'sa', 'on', and 'off'.
+#	4. Verify that it is shown as 'dir', 'sa', 'sa', and 'off.
+#
