Is there any planned support for file ACLs? Currently I get this error when I try to setfacl on files in the mounted folder:

setfacl: filenam: Operation not supported

@melaraj2 You can specify use_xattr option at start s3fs.
Please try it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

@melaraj2 Did you try testing with a newer version of s3fs and -o use_xattr?

@ggtakec @gaul I was trying to use the ACLs with s3fs, after enabling use_xattr, setfacl and getfacl are working fine, but looks like these values are not getting used in actually resolving the permissions. For example, if Alice has a file foo with permissions 700, if we give rwx access to Bob using setfacl, the correct permissions would show up in getfacl. But if I try to cat the file as user Bob, it fails with "Operation not permitted" error. I am also setting allow_otheroption.

Any solution for this. I am also facing same issue,,without giving 777 it wont work. use_xattr is able to set permission, but it never works in actual operation.
