Also, there is a way to save/apply ACLs as well (using getfacl/setfacl). I've been using a variant of this script to save all ACLs into a script when backing up, just in case the backup approach doesn't save them (e.g., I typically limit my use of ACLs to XFS, because xfsdump preserves them, but just in case I use something that cant'). -- Bryan J.
