Yes - that piece among the various NFSv41 ACL changes also jumped out to me as I scanned the NFSv4.1 summary ... in part because I was looking at some Samba mapping problems (CIFS to NFSv4 ACLs) recently. In any case, seems very useful (even without any CIFS compatibility issues). -- 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
