If you decide to get the ACL patches from <http://acl.bestbits.at/> then I
do not know how stable/unstable it is as I've never tried it.
The support for ACLs in XFS is pretty okay, though, although I agree that
whether XFS is stable or unstable depends on how you look at it. Aside
from the XFS disk utilities, you will have to rebuild Samba so that it
supports XFS ACLs. NFS works with XFS, although we're tracking a bug right
now that hit me when a disk in my 3ware RAID5 system died. It looks like
it only affects systems with the 3ware controller, RAID5 (hardware), XFS
and NFS enabled.
For those who may be interested, the XFS team is working with the guy
who's working on the other ACL project for Linux (not ReiserFS, the one
who maintains <http://acl.bestbits.at/>). Hopefully when Linux adapts a
standard for ACLs there won't be too many different incompatible
implementations around.
