This may be where you are mistaken - acls are not an FS/formatting option, they are a mount-time option. to make them work on (for example) your /tmp filesytem you must mount it with the acl option turrned on. As a temporary measure: mount -o remount,acl /tmp should do it. Then try your setfacl commands as a permanent measure you need to add the 'acl' option to your fstab file (eg instead of 'defaults') - giving a line like: LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 acl 1 2 instead of LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 > > BTW I have the same problem when trying to set attributes: operation not > supported. > > JFM Regards Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCE, RHCX -- Man 1: Ask me the what the most important thing about telling a good joke is.
