Dear all,

nfs4-ACLs are exposed to userspace as an extended attribute "system.nfs4_acl" in Linux.

I need to copy these ACLs from one NFS-Server to another. I have found that in xattrs.c rsync filters all extended attributes from the namespace "system" and does not transfer them.

Question 1: Is it reasonably save to patch rsync and transfer them anyways? I have tried it, it works. :-)

Question 2: If is is reasonable and save, is there interest in a patch to create a option to not ignore the "system" namespace?

Regards,
Philipp
