Hi, I'm glad to see you guys are working on a common acl api for ext2/3 and xfs. I was just wondering if this api provided what would be needed for linux to support NTFS's acls. Now bare in mind I know little about how NTFS's alc's are implimented or if they follow POSIX at all. But I just thought it might be worth asking the ntfs maintainer if the proposed api would be adaquit to support ntfs's acls on linux should they ever want to impliment this. Might save them headaches someday. Also will it supply the interface needed for other filesystems that have been ported that linux that support acls? (i.e. will it work for them, could they use it in the future if/when they decide to impliment that feature) I think JFS might support acls too.
Sorry to be a bother, Tim
