AW: posix acl to nfs4 acl mapping - status?

[Stefan Bauer]

-----Urspr=C3=BCngliche Nachricht-----

I believe the implementation follows this document. I do know that se=

veral=20

years ago, we had some significant ACL testing using AIX clients that=

exposed=20

many issues in the translation.
=20
Unfortunately, the translation is always doomed to be imperfect, and =

is=20

probably not suitable for backup-purposes. Any POSIX ACL that include=

s a mask=20

will certainly be changed to lose that mask (with the CURRENT effect =

of the=20

mask being applied permanently).

Even though the implementation might not be complete and flags would ge=
t lost, i would assume to get at least a different error message than O=
peration not supported during copy.

I already found a solution for my backup-problem (saving acls in an add=
itional file).

Thanks.
