Could you possibly bring this back up with upstream? NFSv4 ACLs are supported natively by the BSD and MacOS equivalents of libacl. The patches exist for Linux, they just haven't been applied, and it's been several years of waiting now. Now we have NFSv4 and other filesystems supporting NFSv4 ACLs (ZFS, btrfs), as well as other protocols implementing the NFSv4 ACL semantics, we desperately need support for them on Linux systems. Additionally, more commonly-used filesystems such as ext3 and ext4 are gaining NFSv4 ACL support, and again we can't use them without libacl support. Many thanks, Roger -- .''`.
