I recently read an article that said XFS is the only journaled files system that supports Windows ACLs. The article was written by Tom Berger on Sept. 20, 2001 Does this still hold true? The article can be found at the link below in the second paragraph under Which File system To Choose. http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/ipartit.html#fs Regards to all, John Little __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

No, there's Posix ACL support for ext3fs now, too. In fact, the xfs and ext3 tools are merging. See: http://acl.bestbits.at/ I'm not currently using ext3 with ACLs, but I am using ext2 with them, and the two filesystems are so similar I wouldn't expect any problems. -----Original Message----- From: John Little [mailto:jlittle_97@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 8:40 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Samba & journaled file systems I recently read an article that said XFS is the only journaled files system that supports Windows ACLs.

Hi John, As you may have seen from some of the earlier posts, alot of us are using EXT2 and EXT3 with ACL patches from http://acl.bestbits.at. XFS supports NT ACLs through samba without any patches, but it can be done on other filesystems that can support POSIX ACLs and on certain other filesystems with kernel patches. In the context of that article, I would say that Tom is partially correct in that if a user installs a kernel binary and does not want to mess with recompiling and patching a kernel, XFS would be the only option with Mandrake to support ACL. Out of the context of a Mandrake install, or for an experienced user the statement is false.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It is still valid for a default installation of Mandrake Linux (8.1 or 8.2), since Mandrake's kernel does not support the bestbits patches, although that should be possible in the near future with the merging of the ACL code. I believe the latest devel kernels may have this. So, in the context of the rest of the article (choosing a FS during installation), it is correct.

Thanks for the info. David. It'll help in the decisions I need to make for the server.
