Currently there are 3 disjoint attribute spaces on files -- user, root and security. (there is a misprint in the manual that says there is 2, but later, it gives talks about using no switch giving the User attrib space, -R for Root attrib space, and -S for the Security attrib space). Of these, the ACL's are being placed in the root, which might describe file types, or other OS related info, but not security attributes like ACL's. They should be in the Security attrib space (otherwise what is the point of a Security attribute space). _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
