The setacl command is delivered with the core JFS package. Try this command on your servers: -

# swlist -l JFS.VXFS-BASE-RUN

Chances are either: -

- You don't have this installed on your server for some reason.
- You are trying to set ACLs on a filesystem that doesn't support them. (eg HFS instead of VXFS).

The vxfs version needs to be at least 4 for it. Check it.

swlist -l product | grep jfs.
fstyp -v /dev/vgxx/lvolx

You might try lsacl and chacl. These preceded the setacl and getacl commands

Hi Dahu,

Please make sure u are dealing with right version of JFS.

HFS - supports ACL's
JFS 3.0 - doesnot support ACL's
JFS 3.5 and upward - support ACL's

use 'swlist -l product | grep vxfs' to check the version of the JFS u are dealing with..

With the commande setacl, i would like to use the -R option in order to put my acl on all subdirectoties.

This option does'nt work !
