[gpfsug-discuss] replicating ACLs across GPFS's?

Does anyone know of a functional standard alone tool to systematically  
and recursively find and replicate ACLs that works well with GPFS?

* We're currently using rsync, which will replicate permissions fine,  
however it leaves the ACL's behind. The --perms option for rsync is  
blind to ACLs.

* The native linux trick below works well with ext4 after an rsync,  
but makes a mess on GPFS.
      % getfacl -R /path/to/source > /root/perms.ac
      % setfacl --restore=/root/perms.acl

* The native GPFS mmgetacl/mmputacl pair does not have a built-in  
recursive option.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jaime
