NFSv4 RFC was December 2000 (CIFS/NTFS ACLs, which were much more complex than earlier OS/2 ACLs, are about 4 years earlier than NFSv4 ACLs). POSIX ACL support was added to mainline Linux kernel at the end of 2002 (see below): 2002/10/31 02:34:21-05:00 tytso Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 acl-ext2 to 2.5 This patch adds ACL support to the ext2 filesystem. 2002/10/31 02:33:05-05:00 tytso Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 acl-ext3 to 2.5. This patch adds ACL support to the ext3 filesystem. 2002/10/31 02:30:17-05:00 tytso Port 0.8.50 acl-xattr patch to 2.5 (harmonize header file with SGI/XFS) This patch provides converts extended attributes passed in from user space to a generic Posix ACL representation. -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
