Hi Christian,

I have a couple questions:

1. Are you mounting gfs on the nfs server with the "-o acl" option?
2. Can you do setfacl and getfacl from the gfs host (i.e. not through nfs)?
3. On what version of the cluster software and gfs are you seeing this?

Clustered samba is still being worked on.
