 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?

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?
