Hi, while answering i realize that ACL is not enabled with my UFS filesystem and that the ENOSYS might come from this individual shortcomming and not from lack of support. I will try to investigate and distinguish. Do you have a web pointer to the source of libacl as used in kfreebsd ?

Hi, the ENOSYS comes from a general refusal of libacl ... i'd say. So where to inspect its source ? (Or dowload it.) I could not tune the mounted root filesystem: # tunefs.ufs -a enable / tunefs.ufs: POSIX.1e ACLs set

Hi, i now believe that the ENOSYS is in libattr1 which has as source attr-2.4.46 with file libattr/syscalls.c . (There seems to be a transition underways to move this part into eglibc.) If this assessment is correct then currently kfreebsd aims for ACL implemented on top of xattr (libattr1, attr
