Hi

This is looking like bugzilla 8938 again.

  We have xattr. The share is mounted:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6V200E0_V40FV13G-part2 / 
ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 1

Without  vfs objects = posix_eadb the posix acls, permissions and 
ownerships we set on the underlying ext4 file system do not work under s3fs.

posix_eadb does it, is too slow to be workable and you have told us not 
to use it outside testing. Three very good reasons.

ntvfs does it too unless we touch the security tab in windows, whereupon 
the acls are destroyed.

Would it be possible to have an acl/ownership/permissions mapping s3fs 
to posix like we have currently with smbd in Samba3 (without all the 
create mask=0770 smb.conf stuff)?
