Re: Difficulties with large ACL/DACL counts

[Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>]

hi John,

Tim and I came across this during the week -- we believe it to
be a problem in our XFS code, returning E2BIG instead of ERANGE
in some places where the user tools are expecting ERANGE (which
we documented in the man pages when doing the unified syscalls).
Ultimately, this prevents the tools from re-doing the request
with a larger buffer, and we get an error instead of a retry.

Should be fixed early next week, along with Ethan's other errno
related problem (EPERM vs EACCESS), though I haven't had a chance
to look into that in detail.

cheers.
