Why do ACLs disappear?
Hello,
I have a little problem concerning the persistance of Access Control
Lists (ACL) on a ReiserFS filesystem: Whenever I reboot the machine,
they vanish partially. I have my home dir /home/jim set to mode 700,
so noone else can read it. But apache needs to be able to walk through
it to my public_html directory. So I've set
group:www-data:--x
mask::--x
on my home directory. This works like a charm until the next reboot.
After the reboot the mask is set to 000 again, but the line for
"group:www-data" still exists.
host:/home# getfacl jim
# file: jim
# owner: jim
# group: users
user::rwx
group::---
group:www-data:--x #effective:---
mask::---
other::---
Why can that be? The system is Debian Sarge with a vanilla kernel
2.6.11.8. The filesystems show up in the mount output as
/dev/mapper/storage-root on / type reiserfs (rw,acl)
/dev/mapper/storage-home on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,acl)
Regards,
Jim
