fusefs-ntfs with acl support

[chaganaut]

Hi,

Just wanted to ask how to enable ACL support for NTFS? I didn't find an option with make config and ntfs-3g -o acl only returns:

'acl' is an unsupported option.

The man page states:

This option is only available on specific builds.

So what to do or how to compile with acl support??
I would like to use NTFS with samba4 so it seems I need the ACL support.

Thank you!

Don't. NTFS support is something that has been reverse engineered. Microsoft may change things and this could break the filesystem and leave you with corrupted files. I suggest using the 'standard' FreeBSD filesystems like UFS or ZFS (both will allow you to use ACLs through Samba).

OK, thank you. I'm already strongly considering using ZFS. But apart from that, I'm still curious about that ACL support feature in fusefs-ntfs with freebsd FreeBSD and I didn't find anything else about it and the statement on the man page isn't really helpful. So is there a build option?
