You'd create a test filesystem with the appropriate feature flag set (mkfs.ext4 -O richacl2 / mkfs.xfs -m richacl=1), RichACLs are not enabled by mount options anymore. This will obviously require versions of e2fsprogs / xfsprogs that understand the feature. If you want coreutils support which isn't strictly necessary, you'll need the patched version too. Other than that, it's really simple. Andreas
