Hello,

With commit c6ac12a6159c802ae8b757dd13563564e64333df we are modifying the ctime of the file when changing file's permission by setfacl. The commit says that is correct as per spec. But we do have a test in tuxera
http://tuxera.com/sw/qa/pjd-fstest-20090130-RC.tgz test/xacl/00.t 45 which expect the ctime to be not changed across setfacl.

I haven't looked at the spec myself. Can you double check and make sure it is ok to change the ctime across setfacl ?

Well, it would be really strange if changing permissions via chmod(1)
changed ctime but via setfacl(1) did not, don't you think?

That make sense. I guess we should consider this a test case error.
