Bug 3406 – acl for ext2/ext3?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description lh 2002-06-05 04:22:15 UTC]

what about adding ext2/ext3 acl support? if i am right, only the e2fsprogs 
patch and the kernel patches are missing. 

attr, acl and patched fileutils already exist.

I'm looking into this as we speak. The ACL parts are already in mjc-sources, but
the extended attributes patch is not, and it seems to be crashing a bit with
XFS. From fs/intermezzo/vfs.c:

/*              
 * CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is used by both the XFS and bestbits
 * acl implementations, although they are not compatible
 * yet.  This is a temporary workaround, meaning that
 * intermezzo will not be able to use posix acls supplied
 * by XFS       
 */

CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL in the intermezzo code has been renamed to
CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS_POSIX_ACL though, so I'll see what I can do.

I really don't have a good overview over the Gentoo kernels these days... Lolo, care 
to take a look?

This is in the development-sources, and would have been released with gentoo-r10
if -r10 didn't break...

This is in gentoo-sources, closing.

Support for this on ext3 has been removed from gentoo-sources-2.4.25.  Could someone please repatch this?
