Hi, 
somebody here has an idea how to enable setfacl  in a vserver? 
Suse 9.2 32Bit here is a vserver under debian-etch 64Bit kernel 2.6.18 and
works fine. On another machine Suse 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18) also works fine
with debian-etch 64Bit kernel 2.6.18. But setfacl claims: 

  pserver:/home/david/letters # setfacl --set u::rwx,g::---,o:---,m:rwx mydir/
  setfacl: mydir: Operation not supported

Directory "mydir" exists, acl is enabled in fstab with: [...] defaults,acl

  pserver:~ # mount 
  [...]
  /dev/drbd3 on /home type ufs (acl)    
  [...]

On a Suse 9.2 installed natively this call of setfacl works fine but not 
in a vserver. Tested as root or user "david".

any hints or experiences? 

thx
Ekkard
