udev and access control lists

Hi everybody.

I've got two questions/problems. But first of all I'm using kernel
version 2.6.10 (with some patches like pwc, perfctr and so on but I
don't think anyone of them touches my problem). My udev version is 050.

I'd like to set some ACLs one some devicefiles so I tried the
following (of course with uid 0 ;-) ):

$ setfacl -m u:cam:r /dev/hdc
setfacl: /dev/hdc: Operation not supported


mount(8) shows the following:

/dev/hda1 on / type xfs (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,modeb0)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /var type xfs (rw)
/dev on /.dev type unknown (rw,bind)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=5M,mode\a55)


/proc/mounts this:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / xfs rw,noatime,usrquota 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
/dev/root /.dev xfs rw,noatime,usrquota 0 0
none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /var xfs rw 0 0


According to mount's output I thought that my /dev/ is mounted on a
tmpfs filesystem. Is this the case?

So I looked through the kernel-config an found EAs for tmpfs but not
ACLs... :-(
Is it under development or is there another solution?


By the way,.. is it possible to configure udev in such a way that it
automatically sets ACLs?

Lots of thanks in advance and greetings,
cam.
