Message-ID: <BANLkTin7Lwf18B=WLBgHP+dUgDOYoXF1BA@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:47:41 +0900 From: crocket <crockabiscuit@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: "man acl" contains wrong information. It could be a kernel bug. "CHANGES TO THE FILE UTILITIES" section in "man acl" is largely wrong. I know that it should be mentioned in coreutils mailing list, but I think kernel could be related, too. 1) Files don't have default ACL. 2) -p flag of cp is written to preserve ACL. But whose ACL does it preserve? Is it destination directory's ACL or original file's ACL? 3) mv is said to preserve ACL. Does it mean the moved file's ACL or destination directory's ACL? Could it be a kernel bug that cp doesn't respect destination directory's ACL? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
