Manual admin tool has already been merged for 13.

Thank you, I look forward to trying this new tool.

I've written a tool to normalize / migrate different xattr naming schemas (with a proper manpage). Currently being reviewed upstream. Will backport once it's through review process.

No worries, this is nor urgent, just a thorn in my side.
Its a good thing you are there, its totally absent from the man page of mvxattr.
The attribute changed correctly, but still no change.
root@sancy:/mnt/tank/principal/Delos/transport # lsextattr user MonFichier2
MonFichier2 AFP_AfpInfo DosStream.com.apple.metadata_kMDItemUserTags
root@sancy:/mnt/tank/principal/Delos/transport # getextattr -s user DosStream.com.apple.metadata\042_kMDItemUserTags MonFichier2/
MonFichier2/ "bplist00\M-#\^A\^B\^CXPurple\0123VBlue\0124WGreen\012\^L\^U\^\\000\000\000\000\000\000\^A\^A\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\^D\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000$\000"
root@sancy:/mnt/tank/principal/Delos/transport #
But I cannot see anything in the finder, and no extended attributes can be seen in the terminal on the mac :

Sorry it took a while to respond. I was load balancing between tickets. Since mvxattr uses samba's lib/xattr wrapper, you need to specify xattr namespace as a prefix to the xattr name (separated by a period) "user <attr>" in FreeBSD CLI tools becomes "user.<attr>" in tools using samba's libraries. Here is usage info for mv xattr with example of FreeBSD commands to go with it:
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# touch testfile.txt
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# setextattr user myattr thing testfile.txt
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# lsextattr user testfile.txt
testfile.txt myattr
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# getextattr user myattr testfile.txt
testfile.txt thing
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# mvxattr -s user.myattr -d user.DosStream.myattr testfile.txt
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# lsextattr user testfile.txt
testfile.txt DosStream.myattr
root@truenas[/mnt/tank/TEST]# getextattr user DosStream.myattr testfile.txt
testfile.txt thing
Since I upgraded yesterday to 12.0-U2 from 11.3-U4, I lost hundreds of labels ( macosx meta data ) that dont show anymore in the finder. The metadata to add labels ( colors ) seems to still be there, but the labels do not show in macosx finder anymore.
If I reboot to 11.3-U4, labels are back in the finder.
Here is the meta data as seen from macosx in 11.3-U4 :

Here is the same output, but when the NAS runs 12.0-U2 :

As can be seen, the meta data is still there, but is no longuer interpreted by the Finder. Although, there is a finder info missing in 12.0.
