Hi,

While working around with XFS ACL I noticed that we can't have more than 25
entries per ACL.
Through Linux-xfs mailing list I found that you having a patch to increase
the maximum ACL entries from default 25 entries to 128 entries.

Can you help me to solve this issue with your patch?

Thanking you in advance..

Regards,
Linse A Pallan

25" in file fs/xfs/xfs_acl.h to "#define XFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES 1000". After
this change I rebuild the kernel and I am able to having maximum of 1000
entries per ACL. Is there any pitfalls/drawbacks in increasing the ACL
maximum entries limit like this? Or is there any other way to increase the
ACL Entries Maximum Limit?
