The "Posix ACL for NTFS" is just an implementation of the Posix ACL, not some sort of "Windows ACL for Linux". This means "tar --acl" will deal with the Posix representation. It will save and restore any ACL which has been set by a "setfacl", but it will only save and restore an approximation of ACLs which were set by Windows. It should be adequate for saving an ext3 subdirectory and restoring it on ntfs-3g or conversely. If you want to save original Windows ACLs, you can use backup and restore functions in secaudit. This will save all the Windows ACL in a separate file which you can include into your tar file. > > 2. Is there some ACL test suite(s) we could use for validation and > regression testing? I do not know of a public test suite suitable for Posix ACLs. Note however the pjd test suite passes fully ok (which is not as obvious as it may seem).
