Hi,

Suggestion for discussion at LSF summit:

Rich-acl patches posted at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/17414 helps in defining a new acl format for Linux that can interoperate better with NFSv4 acl and CIFS acl. I would like have a discussion on the new acl

What about NTFS?

Quoted 3 lines

format, rules regarding how to handle file mode changes and acl values. Also how to handle uid to nfs name@domain mapping

I very much second this proposal. We've been spinning our wheels on the issue of support for non-posix draft acls for far too long.

So could we take the proposal to the relevant list to see who else wants to talk about it and whether any of the ground work can be covered beforehand?

Adding fsdevel, ext4 list. samba will also be interested, but that is subscriber only list
