In fact, Netapp is (sadly to say) the only NFSv4 server in the
whole world<br>
that can provide you with a true NFSv4 ACLs (remember to turn
them on<br>
using options nfs.v4.acl = on).<br>
The nasty hack Rob mentioned will only provide you with POSIX
Acls mapped<br>
to the NFSv4 acls - which will consequently cripple down the
whole ACLs<br>
the NFS server is providing.<br>
<br>
So if you want a nice, fully fledged NFSv4 ACLs, go to Netapp
or Solaris<br>
based NFSv4 server. Forget about Linux.<br>

ok, thanks for confirming what I was already thinking. We do have
Netapp (and very happy customers, I must say).<br>
<br>
When you say 'Solaris based' do you mean nexenta/openindiana? That
still is a very nice choice to have, it would be great to have a
linux based one, but still.<br>

The real problem is that no Linux filesystem I am aware of can store
NFSv4 ACLs natively - there are some patches for ext4 but I doubt
they did make its way for the production. The future seems to be
richacl friendly filesystem, but I do not know anything about it,
too.<br>
<br>
The only filesystem that can store NFSv4 ACLs is Suns ZFS so hence
you should be able to built your own NFS server based on OpenSolaris
or some clones.<br>
<br>
Actually, you might want to check this:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bestbits.at/richacl/">http://www.bestbits.at/richacl/</a><br>
to see if your kernel has this patch - if yes, there is quite a good
chance you could do it on Linux, too.<br>
