Hi,

Suggestion for discussion at LSF summit:

Rich-acl patches posted at 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/17414 helps in
defining a new acl format for Linux that can interoperate better with
NFSv4 acl and CIFS acl. I would like have a discussion on the new acl

What about NTFS?

quoted

format, rules regarding how to handle file mode changes and acl
values. Also how to handle uid to nfs name@domain mapping

I very much second this proposal. We've been spinning our wheels on the
issue of support for non-posix draft acls for far too long.

So could we take the proposal to the relevant list to see who else wants
to talk about it and whether any of the ground work can be covered
beforehand?

Adding fsdevel, ext4 list. samba will also be interested, but that is
subscriber only list
