Hi, Petr Salinger: Update of acinclude.m4, libburn/os.h, libburn/sg.c will be needed at least. George initially proposed me to use macro __FreeBSD_kernel__ for system detection. This text snippet brought me to http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/porting/PORTING where i read this Example

Hi, looking over the system dependencies in our project i come to the xorriso mount helper. It reads the table-of-content of multi-session media or files and produces a mount command for mounting a particular session. Typically used to retrieve older states from multi-session backups. I read

Hi, So it would be mainly about asking debian-cd to produce a MBR boot image and to tell genisomage or xorriso to include it (by option -G). The MBR is just one piece of the boot chain, you need everything else to be in place for this to work. This includes (but is not limited to)

Hi, the ENOSYS comes from a general refusal of libacl ... i'd say. So where to inspect its source ? (Or dowload it.) I could not tune the mounted root filesystem: # tunefs.ufs -a enable / tunefs.ufs: POSIX.1e ACLs set

Hi, while answering i realize that ACL is not enabled with my UFS filesystem and that the ENOSYS might come from this individual shortcomming and not from lack of support. I will try to investigate and distinguish. Do you have a web pointer to the source of libacl as used in kfreebsd ?

Hi, i now believe that the ENOSYS is in libattr1 which has as source attr-2.4.46 with file libattr/syscalls.c . (There seems to be a transition underways to move this part into eglibc.) If this assessment is correct then currently kfreebsd aims for ACL implemented on top of xattr (libattr1,

Hi, the FreeBSD code in https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libc/posix1e/acl_set.c?revision=208785=markup#l53 shows that userland function acl_set_file(3) is implemented via kernel (?) call __acl_set_file(). This means that the internal representation of an ACL is not stored as extended
