So - how do you get Reiser 4 to work with ACLs? Can't find a mount 
option in any docs.
    

	They are not supported yet under Reiser4.  I'm sure this
is keeping just a few people from early adoption at the moment.

ACLs not supported? That's bizzare! That's insane!

I had been reading that the very reason you want to use Reiser 4 is because that's where the ACLs were going to be. It is after all built on a database and the Reiser4 page is full of talk about ACLs. It is claimed that Reiser4 is done and ready for the real world and no ACL support. Reiser 3 has ACL support. EXT3 has ACL support. Every other file system has ACL support.

How can there be a claim that Reiser4 is ready to be merged into the Kernel without ACL support? Here I am gearing up to switch over and now I can't. I just spent the last few week hassling Redhat to make Fedora more Reiser friendly. This is moe than just a little disapointing. It's just plain crazy.

So - what's the story with that? Why no ACLs in a system built on a dadtbase?
