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? -- Marc Perkel - marc@perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com --------------090507030606060904060404 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

	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!
