[Samba] Samba & journaled file systems

[Jason Stewart]

Hi John,

As you may have seen from some of the earlier posts, alot of us are using 
EXT2 and EXT3 with ACL patches from http://acl.bestbits.at. XFS supports NT 
ACLs through samba without any patches, but it can be done on other 
filesystems that can support POSIX ACLs and on certain other filesystems 
with kernel patches.

In the context of that article, I would say that Tom is partially correct 
in that if a user installs a kernel binary and does not want to mess with 
recompiling and patching a kernel, XFS would be the only option with 
Mandrake to support ACL. Out of the context of a Mandrake install, or for 
an experienced user the statement is false.

Cheers,
