After the recent ACL thread, and in testing samba-2.2.3a, it turns out that Posix-ACLs for XFS (modified from samba) are not working in 2.4.8-4mdk.
I haven't got too much debugging information yet (did initial tests at home, at work now ...), and no easy way to test this yet (except running samba with an XFS filesystem shared out, and trying to modify ACLs from WinNT/Win2k/Winxp), though I am working on it ... For reference, XFS ACLs worked out the box in Mandrake 8.1 (samba-2.2.1a-15mdk on kernel 2.4.8-26mdk), with the kernel (2.4.8-34mdk) and samba (2.2.2-3.4mdk I think) updates, and even on Mandrake 8.0 when running the official kernel update (2.4.8-34.1mdk?) with a newer samba. It also works on Mandrake 8.1 kernel 2.4.8-34mdk with samba-2.2.3a-6mdk (so I don't think it is samba). A robust linux filesystem with support for ACLs and quotas, in combination with samba which is has support for ACLs and quotas on that filesystem, and with winbind is a Windows 2000 killer, not to mention a very cool file server (if NFS on an the same partitions is stable ...). At the moment (AFAIK), XFS is the only filesystem which can do this. It would be really cool to see this working. Has anyone ever managed to get setfacl working? getfacl sees my ACL changes I apply from windows (with Mdk8.1), but I can't get setfacl to work. It might be an easier way to test ACLs.
