You asked: "your description of the ACL implementation looks like each file has some sort of reference to the ACL - so multiple files could reference the same physical ACL data. In our case, we need to set a large number of files (and directories) to the same ACL (content) - could we take any benefit from these 'pseudo' referencing nature ? i.e. set ACL contents once and the job is done ;-). It looks that mmputacl can only access the ACL data 'through' a filename and not 'directly' - we just need the 'dirty' way ;-) "
Perhaps one could hack/patch that - but I can't recommend it. Would you routinely hack/patch the GPFS metadata that comprises a directory? Consider replicated and logged metadata ... Consider you've corrupted the hash table of all ACL values...
