Setfacl - Operation not supported

[Machin, Glenn D]

Thanks you got it.   For some reason the /lib/libacl.so.1.2.0 did not
get installed.  I went into the acl-2.2.29 directory and did a make
install-lib.  Now everything works.  

PS - I am using the CITI 2.6.17 Kernel


Thanks for the help.



Glenn

Note the acl mount optiont here is all you need;

That "acl" in the export options isn't doing anything.

Where is your libacl from, and what kernel version are you using?

Also, strace'ing the failing get/setfacl and grepping for "xattr" might
be enlightening;

	strace -otmp getfacl foo
	grep xattr tmp

--b.
