Mounting File Systems

Before using ACLs for a file or directory, the partition for the file or directory
must be mounted with ACL support. If it is a local ext3 file system, it can be
mounted with the following command:
mount -t ext3 -o acl


For example:
mount -t ext3 -o acl /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /work

Alternatively, if the partition is listed in the /etc/fstab file, the entry for the
partition can include the acl option:
LABEL=/work /work ext3 acl 1 2

If an ext3 file system is accessed via Samba and ACLs have been enabled for it,
the ACLs are recognized because Samba has been compiled with the --with-acl-
support option. No special flags are required when accessing or mounting a

Samba share.
