chacl usage

[T G Manikandan]

The chacl command
#chacl "money.%+rwx" file
(money is the username)
gives me an error
"errno 251 Function not available"
Please help me to resolve the problem.

Thanks

chacl command doesn't work on vxfs file systems.
If you try to use chacl with JFS, the following error is returned:

chacl: Function is not available (errno = 251)

my guess is your are using JFS then ?

Hello,
You are right!But is there any way so that I can use chacl on vxfs??
Please provide me a solution.

Unfortunatly I have found no way of doing this.

Hi,

You will need to upgrade to online JFS v3.3 to use ACLs.

Hope this helps. Regards.
