Thank you verdepollo, I checked my disks and the partition, none of them even show any output when i run the tune2fs -l command (output shows the result for one of the disk)
[root@H99A100 dev]# ls -lrt sd*

[root@H99A100 dev]# tune2fs -l /dev/sdb
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
none of the existing FS on the system is ACL supported, as per mount command
/dev/mapper/vgSAP-lv_s12_03 on /usr/sap/trans type ext3 (rw)
I doubt the client will agree with remounting the FS with acl mount option, but would it possible to create ACL anyways, without the FS mount options being ADL enabled? What would be the consequences to this?
Thanks again for the full command, I've always been wary of ACLs :o

So I tested this on my test server, but the weird thing is when I did mount, all the other FS but /tmp is acl enabled, even after manually enabling acl for /tmp

check out the FS in blue, they were acl enabled all along

attempting to set /tmp acl enabled failed:

nonetheless, attempting to set user test with read permissions for /tmp worked

oh by the way, the test machine I play around is a suse linux machine
