Richacl would definitely help, and Ganesha would be a good place to use it if it ever becomes available, even if only in library filesystems like Cephfs. Frank

Thanks Daniel, I will see if we can wait for v4 or I will backport to v3.x .

I can understand that the conversion to posix acl will be a lossy one. I'm also looking to ricahcl to address the issue.

NFSv3 ACLs were recently added to the 4.x development codebase. It's never, as far as I know, been tested with Gluster, but the code is in place, and can be used. There's no current timeframe for a 4.0 release, but it's a small, self- contained patch, so it's not impossible to backport it to a 3.x version.

NFSv4 ACLs have been available and supported for a long time, they should work fine (with the usual caveat that NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX ACLs are not fully compatible, so there could be issues if the full NFSv3 ACL semantics are needed).

Hi All,

We want to use nfs-ganesha with gluster and we have a requirement to use acl with both v3 and v4. But going through the previous mail archives, I understood that acl is not supported with v3. Is there any chance of acl support with v3 in near future. How easy is to implement this feature in v3.

An addition question is regarding the stability of acl with v4. Is there any known issues? Is it ready for using it in the production setup. Any users who consumes acl on v4?

Any help is much appreciated, Thanks in advance.
