Summary	0007696: tar restores directories with incorrect ACLs
Description	When I use the --acls option to create and restore a tar archive including ACLs, directories are restored with incorrect ACLs. This is unacceptable behavior for a program that is heavily relied upon for backup management.
Steps To Reproduce	Create an empty directory and view its ACL list: [stern@server ~]$ mkdir d [stern@server ~]$ getfacl d # file: d # owner: stern # group: stern user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x Then create a tar archive containing that directory, remove the directory, and restore it from the archive: [stern@server ~]$ tar -cf a.tar --acls d [stern@server ~]$ rmdir d [stern@server ~]$ tar -xf a.tar --acls Finally, check the ACL list of the restored directory: [stern@server ~]$ getfacl d # file: d # owner: stern # group: stern user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::r-x The default ACL values have incorrectly been filled in, using the values of the directory's access permissions. The output should have been the same as for the getfacl command above.
Additional Information	On a separate system running Fedora-20 this does not happen. In fact, when I create a tar archive under CentOS and restore it under Fedora, the ACL list is correct. And when I create a tar archive under Fedora and restore it under CentOS, the ACL list is wrong.
Tags	No tags attached.
