Hi!

I'm considering using XFS mainly because of ACL support.
But since i read the following quoatation in URL...

http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0105/msg00368.html

"The 1.0 release, however, applies default ACLs which are
affected by the umask. This has been fixed in the CVS tree
so that default ACLs are used in preference to the umask.
(the fix didn't make it in time to 1.0)."

...i have a question:
Does this mean that ACL is *really* not working because is overrided by
umask, or is it just the default behaviour which in turn can be
overrided by means of some configuration?

Thanks in advance.
