thank you!

someone responded short after my message on the user-list

i am at debugging with upstream why netatalk3 doe snot work
on upgraded and converted AFP-Volumes and instead brings
Apple Finder to the "spinning wheel of dead" and here where
some ACL "not permitted"-warnings in the debug-log after that
netatalk-upstream said "well, read ACL works, please try
if you can write ACLs on this filesystem" and i did not
know much more as "setfattr --help" said

maybe it would be a good diea to imporve the output

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ LANG=c; setfattr --help
setfattr 2.4.46 -- set extended attributes
Usage: setfattr {-n name} [-v value] [-h] file...
       setfattr {-x name} [-h] file...
  -n, --name=name         set the value of the named extended attribute
  -x, --remove=name       remove the named extended attribute
  -v, --value=value       use value as the attribute value
  -h, --no-dereference    do not dereference symbolic links
      --restore=file      restore extended attributes
