Yes. Sort of. There's a sideband protocol for NFSv3 that supports them pretty much as they are. NFSv4 only has NFSv4 ACLs, so we support them by translating between "posix" and NFSv4 ACLs on the fly, and the result can be a pain to use. > Does something specifically need to be done individually for each file > system, or if it supports the standard extended attribute does any > file system (including an out of tree file system) automatically > function? Nothing special's required, it should be automatic. --b.
