this is my first HOWTO, and i'm waiting for suggestions :) --tixo 22:49, 2 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Well, it's a little dated, now, considering that genkernel has a lot more command line options, and some of them are dependent on the system setup.


tune2fs may be used to set a default mount option

 # tune2fs -o acl /dev/hda7

and then you don't need to change your fstab, an additional benefit is that you will get acl each time you mount the filesystem with an acl able kernel, like when booting with a rescue disk. The actual default mount options are seen with:

 # dumpe2fs /dev/hda7 | grep "Default mount options"
