bsdtar and ACLs

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

I was under impression that bsdtar should, by default, preserve  
filesystem ACLs. However, this is not the case here, as seen by the  
following test. What am I missing?

# touch testfile.txt
# setfacl -m u:user2:rwx testfile.txt
# getfacl testfile.txt
# file: testfile.txt
# owner: root
# group: users
user::rw-
user:user2:rwx
group::rw-
mask::rwx
other::r--
# ls -l testfile.txt
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 root  users  0 Feb 19 22:07 testfile.txt
# tar cvf testfile.tar testfile.txt
a testfile.txt
# rm testfile.txt
# tar xvf testfile.tar
x testfile.txt
# ls -l testfile.txt
-rw-rwxr--  1 root  users  0 Feb 19 22:07 testfile.txt
# getfacl testfile.txt
# file: testfile.txt
# owner: root
# group: users
