Anything happening with this bug or can I supply some kind of other information? Thanks for report, no additional informations are needed at the moment, sorry for delay. As the problem is in RHEL-5, I would suggest to contact official Red Hat Enterprise Linux product support to raise priority of star update. I will try to backport fix and attach a patch if possible, but it will take some time. Created attachment 325521 [details]
Patch to fix the issue
Testing in-between releases shows that the problem was fixed upstream between star-1.5a78 and star-1.5a79.
The attached patch (1 line added) seems to fix the issue.
Cheers,
Olivier.

Description of problem: Under RHEL 5 I'm trying to backup some directories that I have some default acls setup on. According to the documentation I should use the star command rather than tar. After restoring from the star archive the default acls are gone, but the access acls are present. My guess is that its a bug in the star command in RHEL5 since I can run the exact same commands on a Fedora 9 box and it works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): star-1.5a75-2 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a directory called testing on a filesystem mounted with acl support. 2. getfacl testing # file: testing # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x 3.Set some default acls: setfacl -d -m u::rx testing getfacl testing/ # file: testing # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x default:user::r-x default:group::r-x default:other::r-x Default acls show up as expected. 4. Create star archive: star H=exustar -acl -c -v f=startest.star testing/ a testing/ directory star: 1 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 10240 bytes = 10.00k). 5. Remove original directory with rmdir testing 6. Restore directory from star archive: star -acl -x -v f=startest.star Release star 1.5a75 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) Archtype exustar Dumpdate 1213247797.030692 (Thu Jun 12 01:16:37 2008) Volno 1 Blocksize 20 x testing/ directory star: 1 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 10240 bytes = 10.00k). Actual results: After the above restore getfacl testing/ yields: # file: testing # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x --defaul acls missing Expected results: getfacl testing/ # file: testing # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x default:user::r-x default:group::r-x default:other::r-x Additional info: As I mentioned when running the exact same commands on a fedora 9 machine with star version star-1.5a84-4.fc9.i386 this worked just as expected.
