In an ideal world, I would like just the thing - obviously, within limits (things like ZFS snapshots and such are what makes ZFS - ZFS). A good goal would be to make file systems indistinguishable to non-administrative userland applications running on them. > ZFS ACLs are completely > disparate to UFS ones, for example, so what's the proposal to fix that > difference? Erm, exactly the thing that's supposed to be done, as described at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS :) "Currently ZFS on FreeBSD doesn't support ACLs. ZFS itself supports NFSv4-style ACLs, which is different than the existing POSIX.1e implementation in FreeBSD, which means that first thing to do is to add support for NFSv4-style ACLs to FreeBSD, which is being done as a GSoC project." I'm not going to argue this point just for the sake of arguing - I don't think I will convince you and I believe in my standpoint. Since I'm not able to work on either file system, I'll leave it to the people who will to decide :)
