Hi Cindy and Christo,

this is a good example of how useless ZFS ACLs are. Nobody understands how to 
use them!

Please note in Cindy's examples above:

You can not use file_inherit on files. Inheritance can only be set on 
directories. Depending on the zfs aclinherit mode, the result may not be what 
you want. When you have set an ACL inheritance on a directory and use chmod in 
the old way, e.g. chmod g-w dir1, the ACL inheritance of dir1 is modified!

Be extremely careful with chmod A=... since this replaces any ACL set on 
file/dir, including trivial ACLs for owner@, group@ and every...@.

My experience: Avoid ACLs wherever you can. They are simply not manageable.

Andreas
