Update 10 has been out for about 3 weeks. > Can somebody in the know confirm whether or not aclmode is gone in > update 10?

I just tried on a U9 and U10 box. On the U10 system, I did a simple 'chmod g+s' on a directory with an ACL, and wham, the ACL vanished. Same operation on U9, and the ACL is preserved. (This doesn't affect me all that much, as ACLs on ZFS have never really worked right, so anything where the ACL is critical gets stored on ufs [yuck].) Also, aclmode is no longer listed in the usage message you see if you do 'zfs get'. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
