ACL is not restored with rear in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm trying to use rear for a backup solution.
  • ACL is configured for some files in the system. But, the ACL information is not restored after recovery.
  • The following is the configuration in /etc/rear/local.conf.
OUTPUT=ISO
OUTPUT_URL=nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/backup
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx//backup
BACKUP_PROG_OPTIONS="--anchored --acls --xattrs"
  • xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the NFS server to store backup data.
  • I could see the following "Warning" messages in log file.
Warning: Cannot acl_from_text
