The issue I am running into is that I am not sure how to copy files from windows to the Linux and preserve ACLs.
I assume that you only want to preserve them as metadata, not to map them somehow to whatever security model obtains on the Linux disk? The only kind of thing I can come up with (hand-wavingly) is to convert the SD of each file to its equivalent SDDL and then to track that along with the file. I was going to suggest stuffing it in an ADS but presumably that wouldn't survive the journey to Linux either. No doubt you could contrive some kind of parallel metadata/database which could hold the info... The additional complication with ACLs (especially when it comes to restoring them) is coping with the levels of inheritance and override.
