Hi Rowland,

Evidently that's not the case. As I demonstrated, creating a sub folder 
with acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes active, just made the sub folder 
unusable for my purpose (not writable for neither owner nor group with 
full permissions). I will try what Ralph suggests in a later post.

Thanks for your answer,

Peter
