With the newer treatment of ACLs in XFS, the number can be increased
beyond 25. I have a working setup using a 128 ACE limit. Let me know

Hi,
Is anybody has the above mentioned patch for 128 ACL entries available?
I tried to contact John M. Trostel and the email bounced.
Thanks and regards,
Boopathi.
