ext4 ACL support in Trusty

Having problems with ACL in Trusty desktop version, I want to know if the acl mount option is really mandatory for an ext4 partition?

Since with or without this option, setfacl never complains support is missing, I wonder if setting the option when it is not mandatory anymore would cause issues?


Solution 1:

In Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 the acl option in /etc/fstab and mount command is superfluous, even when the option defaults is not specified.

Instead, the noacl option disables acl support
