Hi i'm trying to enable ACL on my filesystem. this are the steps

  • install acl with # pacman -S acl
  • edit /home entry on /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb4    /home       ext4        defaults,acl,noatime        0 2
  • remount partition # mount -o remount /home

even after reboot the acl is not displayed for the mount command

/dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
rkmax

I don't think you have to explicitly set ACL as a mount option to get it to work. None of my mounts have it explicitly set:

$ more /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/vg_grinchy-lv_root /                       ext4    defaults        1 1

Here's my mount info:

$ mount
/dev/mapper/vg_grinchy-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw)

And yet I'm able to make use of ACL functionality on the above mounted partition.

Accessing the mounted partition:

$ df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_grinchy-lv_root
                       50G   28G   20G  58% /

Am able to run getfacl:

$ getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: root
# group: root
# flags: --t
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx

  • you're absolutely right. the option dont show explicity but before I had only the root partition and did not work, move the home to another partition and now it works. is weird – rkmax Jul 12 '13 at 19:53
