When trying to issue a setfacl command on a Linux host against a file or directory in a mounted Unity NFSv4 export, the command fails:
[root@hostname xyz]# setfacl -m g:mygroup:r-x testfile
setfacl: testfile: Operation not supported
setfacl does not work with NFSv4.
You need to use the nfs4-getfacl / nfs4-setfacl commands on NFSv4 mount.The setfacl does not work with NFSv4.
To make these commands available, installation of the package "nfs4-acl-tools package" is required.
Example for Debian-based distros ( Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.):
[root@hostname xyz]#apt-get install nfs4-acl-tools
[root@hostname xyz]#
[root@hostname xyz]#mount
