Summary: setfacl sets 'x' bit on files
Product: Linux XFS
Version: Current
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: xfsprogs
AssignedTo: xfs-master@xxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: matthijs@xxxxxxxx
When the 'x' bit is present in an acl, it gets set onto a file unconditionally.
While this seems like nice and consistent behaviour, it is unwanted to have x
bits all over the place in recursive mode.
It would be good to strip out x bits from files automatically. However, this
should probably be optional, since there might be cases where you don't want
that.
My suggestion would be to add a -x, --strip-x option to strip the execute bit
from files, and leave them intact by default. Leaving them by default makes
compatibility with for example chmod the greatest.
