Support ACL
There are separate issues with ACL support here:
- If the ACL on the original FS grants certain permission to a user, currently the user won't have the same permission on the binded FS; e.g. a write operation will return
EACCESSeven if the user has write permission on the original FS (granted by ACL); - If the ACL on the original FS grants certain permission to a user
U1, and the bindfs mapsU1to another userU2, then we should expect the binded FS's ACL grants the permission to userU2; however, currentlygetfaclshows the permission underU1.
Thanks, this seems like a reasonable feature request, but it also seems like a non-trivial effort, so unfortunately I can't promise that it'll get done in any reasonable timeframe. PRs are welcome.
Notes:
- Looks like ACLs pass through bindfs as xattrs like
system.posix_acl_accessandsystem.posix_acl_default(mentioned here) - Apparently there's documentation in an old POSIX draft standard
