Suggested by the rather biased (and extremely opinionated) author of 'star'. Who, by the way, never out-and-out admitted that star does _not_ support ZFS ACLs (which it doesn't). Sadly I don't now of any non-commercial backup solution for ZFS that supports ACLs. Even rsync doesn't support them, due to Sun's choice to use their own unique ACL API. -- Carson _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
