Unfortunately it seems as though using zfs in such a mixed environment is not a
good idea any longer unless you like constant support headaches. From what I
have read windows will be ok but when Linux and Mac are added to the mix,
potentially even if using nfs and not cifs, acls are prone to getting whacked.
Please tell me I am missing something as this seems like a terrible idea made
with the best of intentions making zfs (and Solaris/oi) unusable in one of the
areas it used to shine (and that I had taken for granted after setting it up on
older versions before).

Hi!
We are setting up a new file server on an OpenIndiana box (oi_148). The
spool is run-in version 28, so the "aclmode" option is gone. The server
has to serve files to Linux, OSX and windows. Because of the missing
aclmode option, we are getting nuts with the file permissions.
I read a whole lot about the problem and the pros and cons of the
decision of dropping that option in zfs, but I absolutely read nothing
about a solution or work around.
The problem is, that gnome's nautilus as well as OSX' finder perform a
chmod after writing a file over ifs, causing all ACLs to vanish.
If there is no solution, zfs seems to be dead. How do you solve this
problem?

This has caused me constant headaches, especially as I add rsync to the
linux, nfs, samba and windows mix.
My current quick and dirty fix is a 15 min. re-apply acl script, which
is often enough for my purposes.
Since it is all workgroup mode, there isn't any other option for me yet.
I have experimented with NFS4 on Centos, which can see acls, but that
didn't help at all.
For me, it was a matter of choosing the ability to scrub the zpool or
have problematic acl's and acl's lost out.
Mark.
