Number of ACL-Entries

Hi there,

I just joined the list and I am new to mailinglists at all. 

I intend to define up to 7000 entrys into an acl on a ext3 filesystem, Kernel 
2.6.9-34, which will also be accessed via NFS. I read and verified that it is 
only possible to define up to 500 entrys. 

I tried to find out the general limit and I only got the above information 
from a redhat mailinglist. Macro-variables like the old EXT3_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES 
(kernel 2.4.21) which bound the limit to 32 (due to the block size) do not 
exist anymore and I didnt find out how the limit is defined in newer kernel 
versions yet. And I also don't know what other logical factors these limits 
depend to. 

- What can I do to define up to 7000 entrys in an ACL?
- Should I use a different filesystem?

Best regards
Stephan Klaiber
