I am investigating NFSv4, CIFS, and POSIX ACLs and wanted to test the richacl implementation in OpenSuSE 13.1. The kernel configuration is non-functional, although the code is present. The kernel configuration clause in /usr/src/linux/fs/ext4/Kconfig depends upon a non-existent variable: EXT4_FS_XATTR. Once the dependency clause is removed, the code can be configured properly. Building the code encounters an error with one of the macros in richacl.c handle = ext4_journal_start( inode, EXT4_DATA_TRANS_BLOCKS(inode->i_sb)); ext4_journal)start() requires three parameters. I have approximated a fix with: handle = ext4_journal_start( inode, EXT4_HT_XATTR, (EXT4_DATA_TRANS_BLOCKS(inode->i_sb) + 1)); This may or may not be correct. (-;]> The code now builds. There apparently is a change in the richacl.h definition of the ACE bits, however, so it is necessary to know which version of the richacl-tools is required to match the code in the /usr/src/fs/ext4 directory (without extracting every git commit and comparing). Is there a way to get the appropriate tools? I know where they are at github. It would be really nice to have this working for my study, but I understand "EXPERIMENTAL", and "ALPHA". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to enable richacls with menuconfig or xconfig 2.Fix configuration in Kconfig 3.Build code and get error 4.Fix code and build kernel 5.Get richacl-tools v1.0 and attempt to manipulate acls in FS mounted with "richacl" option -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
