Hi There,
According to tune2fs man page you should be able to do a tune2fs -o ^acl /dev.........
But this doesn't work either, I think I'll just grep out the warning for now....
thanks for all the help
Pete
You are welcome ... but it is not really an ACL (as defined by tune2fs) but something new with SELinux (an Extended Attribute).

Hi There,
It seems the default installer with Centos 4, enables DACs and the extra ACLs which DUMP cannot handle....
so I get errors like "DUMP: ACLs in inode #nnnn won't be dumped"
since DUMP and RESTORE is integral to my back policy for some 30+ machines I would like to know if its possible to turn off the extra ACLs in the file system as I really don't need them...
Can tune2fs do this for me or do I have to re-build the filesystems with some option that I currently don't know...
P.
This is not something that can be fixed (at least not the file system).
See the Release Notes:
