[linux-cifs-client] setting file size to windows 9x/windows me

[Naidu Bollineni]

Is there a support for fetching NT ACLs from server in binary format? I
am wondering if copying a file without modifying its behavior doesn't
require this support? Currently I see only POSIX ACL handling in CIFS
VFS.
