Hello @akong77
Did you had any news about it? Does goofys support setfacl?

I am not maintainer of goofys... but the keynodes at the beginning of the readme already tells it ... nearly directly.

.....
It's a Filey System instead of a File System because goofys strives for performance first and POSIX second. Particularly things that are difficult to support on S3 or would translate into more than one round-trip would either fail (random writes) or faked (no per-file permission). Goofys does not have an on disk data cache (checkout catfs), and consistency model is close-to-open.
...

This means "translated": No it do not support acl's ... and it is also not intended to support it.

You need to consider that S3 is simply not POSIX compliant file system. And this tool here only has the purpose to make it easy accessible with a "mount" approach.

When the system ... where the mount is done ... is not protected and needs to be locked down .. then better not use such an approach and access s3 directly inside the application logic instead.
