Thanks for the update! But I had a second thought about what to do when
setfacl succeeded, please see below.

I think we should call _notrun here instead of making up the correct
output. If the test is meaningless, don't run it makes more sense to me.
e.g.

if setfacl -m m:r $TFILE &>/dev/null; then
	# setfacl succeeded, so the test was meaningless
	# The filesystem might still have an issue
	_notrun "<notrun reason here>"	
fi

Sorry, I didn't bring this up in my first review..

Thanks,
Eryu
