Last I heard, maybe 4 months ago, the NFSv4 acl capability was not in the Linux kernel.  CITI has a software add-on that will map posix to v4 but native v4 does not yet exist.

Subject: Re: ACL not working

Darren,

Thanks for the reply. Is Linux's implementation of NFSv4 different from others?

Because on CentOS 4.4 which i believe has NFSv4 support, i have the same problem. I did this,

mount -t nfs4 filer:/vol/work_area/cfd-trg /mnt/test_mount

 I'll install Solaris 10 on a test box, check and revert.

My understanding is that Solaris 9 does not do NFSv4.

The old-style Solaris ACLs you can set locally (and on a Sun NFS server)
are not supported by Netapp or anyone else.  I'm assuming you'd need
Solaris 10 and NFS4 for this to work.
