I tried to discuss the archive format for ACLs with people from Sun.
It seems that noone is interested.
When I has time to implement ZFS ACL support, the implementation of Sun's
libsec was broken.
If the archive format used by Sun tar and Sun cpio does not include numerical
user/group ids in addition to the names, the usability of backups made with
these programs is extemely limited.
I am currently working on cdrtools-3.0-final. Once this is ready, I have more
time to add ZFS ACL support to star.
