Did tried and ended with the same problem for filesystem mounting.

Will try this.

I use vanilla longterm 3.10.x, not CentOS kernel, that is too old for my
HW.

I have to use longterm kernel and 3.10.x is the latest available. As I have
seen the commit for more ACLs there, I expected it should be possible to
get it working for this version 
(https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=0a8aa1939777dd114479677f0044652c1fd72398)

I will repeat your directions and test it. However, if you as XFS devels do
not see these to be stable enough to be used in production environment, I
may still revert to some other solution (unix groups) even if these are a
night mare to administer for my situation.

Thanks for all the info and advices.
