[Samba] VFS ACL modules - question to developers

[David Roid]

Hi Jeremy,

I can understand the limit of acl_xattr because every specific file system
may impose a limit on number of extended attributes. But now that with
acl_tdb ACLs are stored in tdb file, should not there be nothing to do with
file system?

Regards
-David
