Subject: [PATCH] Add `no_acl' nfs export option

Hello,

The current kernel nfsd module has a `nfs_permission_mode' parameter, which
can be used to force nfsd into masking acl permissions off on the server
side. This is needed if the nfs server has acl support, but there are clients
that are too old. There is some more documentation in the patch itself.
Thanks to Steve for proposing this improvement, and for sending an initial
patch.

Could this please be added to nfs-utils? Thanks.

Regards,
Andreas.

Hello,

I noticed that the bit I wanted is already reserved in nfs-utils-1.0.4. Here
is an updated nfs-utils patch. I am also attaching a patch against
linux-2.6.0-test1.

Could someone please reserve the bit? Thanks.

Cheers,
Andreas.
