Then why not drop completely TDB storage of permissions and rely on filesystem alone? Denormalization is (usually) bad... Because, as has been pointed out before, mapping to the underlying filesystem permission is a *lossy* mapping (this is what we used to do). Most people using Windows don't want a lossy mapping, they want to see the exact Windows ACLs they set. The acl_xattr or acl_tdb method allows us to do this, with complete accuracy on evaluating the Windows ACLs, yet still have the underlying filesystem mapping as well. Sort of like eating, and having, your cake at the same time :-).

Hi Jeremy, I'm going to check your patchs on Wednesday. So I understand that ACL TDB are also limited by filesystem?

Hi Jeremy, I can understand the limit of acl_xattr because every specific file system may impose a limit on number of extended attributes. But now that with acl_tdb ACLs are stored in tdb file, should not there be nothing to do with file system?
