Hi, |

I plan on using Access Control Lists on Ext3 filesystems. How do I get them |
| 4 |
working on Gentoo? According to acl.bestbits.at, the requirements are: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- Kernel with ACL enabled |
| 7 |
I am using 2.4.19-gentoo-r5 with ACL enabled. I am wondering if this is |
| 8 |
because the gentoo kernel has the acl patch applied or if these patch are now |
| 9 |
included in the official kernel? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- E2fsprogs needs to be patched |
| 12 |
The ebuild for e2fsprogs does not seem to check for the acl USE flag and it |
| 13 |
doesn't seem to apply the acl patch either. Is someone working on this case? |
| 14 |
this seems like a minor thing to fix. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- attr and acl packages |
| 17 |
The description in the ebuild files for these packages state: |
| 18 |
acl-20020330.ebuild: XFS dump/restore utilities |
| 19 |
attr-20020330.ebuild: xfs extended attributes tools |
| 20 |
Although acl.bestbits.at state that the XFS and Ext2/3 packages are now the |
| 21 |
same. So these packages should be working on Ext3 right? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- Fileutils |
| 24 |
This package also needs to be patched. The ebuild does seem to get and apply |
| 25 |
the xdelta patch from acl.bestbits.at, which is nice. |
