Subject: [PATCH] Return more useful error number when acls are too large
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 12:27:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1082973939.3295.16.camel@winden.suse.de> (raw)

Hello,

could you please add this to mainline? Getting EINVAL when an acl
becomes too large is quite confusing.
