Hello all,
I just purchased and setup my first FreeNAS Mini and I'm uncomfortably excited :)
One of my use cases for a NAS is backing up several of my Linux hosts via rsnapshot using rsync. A few of these machines implement POSIX ACLs, which I understand are only supported under Linux's version of ZFS. I was thinking the way to get around this limitation was to use rsync's "--fake-super" option and store the ACLs in an extended attribute (xattr), but those don't appear to be supported under FreeBSD? So now I'm really scratching my head as to how to get the ACLs backed up. Is the best option just to create a container on the share with another filesystem?
Hoping the FreeNAS sages can help me on this one...
Thanks in advance!
