Interesting Christoph. I was following the ext4 implementation initially. So it seems the question is still open, and none of the following alternatives is decided yet (unless I missed something in the thread at fsdevel): 1) inherit acl from directory passed to the tmpfile handler; 2) inherit acl at link time from directory we're linking to; 3) don't inherit acls Thanks for the heads up. > -- Filipe David Manana, "Reasonable men adapt themselves to the world.
