[brlug-general] NFS and ACLs

[Ronnie Gilkey]

We've been using NFS a bit lately and have been experiencing problems
with ACLs.  The problem is that NFS (v3 and v4) cache ACL entries.  So
when multiple setfacl commands are issued on a particular file or
directory the ACLs are not applied correctly.  Here's a good example
(actually identical to our problem):

Has anyone found a solution / reasonable workaround to this problem?
