[Samba] recommended filesystems with NT/Posix ACL's ?

[Cybionet]

Greeting IP Guy,

  You can choose EXT, ReiserFS, XFS or JFS. All this filesystem have 
advantages or cons. But a point interesting, it's the number of entries 
you can use with the ACL(EA).

- EXT2/3  have a maximum of 32 entries with only 28 usable.
- ReiserFS3/4 and JFS have a maximum of 8191 entries with 8187 usable.
- XFS have a maximum of 25 entries with only 21 usable.

  This mean that with XFS you have the 4 regular entries (owner, group, 
other and the mask) plus a possibility to add 21 users or groups for the 
permission. I have use EXT3 with the ACL(EA) and I have no problem at 
all. If in your business you use MSOffice, add five more entries in your 
planification.
