Solaris 9 also has extended Fileattributes 

>From whats new in Solaris 9 "The UFS, NFS, and TMPFS file systems have
been enhanced to include extended file attributes, which enable
application developers to associate specific attributes to a file. For
example, a developer of a file management application for a windowing
system might choose to associate a display icon with a file."

man (5) on fsattr http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0220/6m6nkorp9?a=view
