Hi everyone,
I'm new to the list and to XFS. I am doing preliminary research to assess
whether we should use XFS in our Samba server or not. We intend to use the
latest release of Samba (v2.2) which supposedly supports XFS ACLs, on a
Linux machine with the latest Linux 2.4.4 kernel patched up to support XFS
Release 1.0.
Has anyone actually set up a server with Samba 2.2 acknowledging XFS ACLs?
Also, there is this Extended Attributes and Access Control Lists for Linux
project at <http://acl.bestbits.at/>. It looks to me like this is a bunch
of patches and tools to make ext2 and the Linux kernel work with EAs and
ACLs.
Does XFS need these patches? Or does XFS implement ACLs on its own, with
its own tools and such? Does XFS support EAs?
In line with ACLs, where can I read up on how XFS implements them? In
particular I'd like to find out about how default ACLs and inheritance are
implemented in XFS.
Please be patient, and if this has been answered before or has an answer
somewhere on the XFS website, please help me out with some URLs.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find a search engine to help me weed out the
XFS mailing list archives to find what I need. Perhaps having a message
search in the XFS mailing list would be a good idea. (Or maybe there is
one, in which case someone please point me out to the right direction).
Thanks a lot in advance! :)
--> Jijo
