Subject: How to enable ACL support in 5.0?

Hello,
I might appear stupid or not having read the manual, but whatever I
try, I can't get setfacl to work (keeps failing:
setfacl: acl_get_file() failed: Operation not supported).

I read the manual and it says I should add acls as option to fstab
which I did:
/dev/ad7s1g             /home           ufs     rw,acls         2       2

What version is this filesystem: UFS1 or UFS2 ? UFS2 has full support for acls but with UFS1 you must enable extended attributes. If you have kernel source files I'll suggest you to read /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.acls.



or use tunefs to set the flag statically in the superblock but tunefs
man page knows nothing at all about ACL.

From tunefs man page:


    -a enable | disable
            Turn on/off the administrative ACL enable flag.


So what do I need to do to get ACLs to work? Also, I was wondering when to use ugidfw (more exotic stuff, I presume) and when just basic ACLs. I think the whole ACL stuff could use some more docs, anyway. For most users, this could be the single most visible change to the system (SMPng etc are mostly under the hood so that's not as obvious to most).

I'd appreciate any comments or pointers on this issue.

TIA & regards,
Gabriel
