Setfacl: Operation not permitted

[girdharmanas]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a file (touch filename.text)
2. Run the following commands:
   a. HTTPDUSER=$(ps axo user,comm | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1)
   b. sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX filename.text
   c. sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX filename.text

running command c. gives an operation not supported error.

Windows version: Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18917
Linux version: Ubuntu 18.04

read(3, "sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER"..., 87) = 87
49 close(3) = 0
49 chown("/home/manas/.bash_history", 1000, 1000) = 0
49 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
49 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
49 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD TSTP TTIN TTOU], [], 8) = 0
49 ioctl(255, TIOCSPGRP, [47]) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
49 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
49 setpgid(0, 47) = 0
49 exit_group(120) = ?
49 +++ exited with 120 +++

That is part of the gist when I try the 3rd command

It's a shame this hasn't been implemented yet as it blocks so many workflows!
