@Ayan Mullick Thank you for your patience wrt to this issue. I have reached out to our internal team regarding this. Here is more information/questions that they have provided regarding the same-
- Databox only supports NTFS style ACLs and doesn’t support other styles.
- And it does so only for Azure files.
- If the clients files/directories are NTFS based ACLs, then the below mentioned tools can be used to transport them to databox.
- On the other hand if the ACLs at the source are not NTFS style, but nfs/posix etc. then ACLs are not support and only the data can be transported.
- Even with NTFS style ACLs at the Unix/Linux source, the tools like cifsacl, smbacls can be quite slow as they can’t do batch operations on ACLs, instead the tool has to be invoked for every file/directory.
To answer you better, please provide the following information-
- The type of ACLs you have at source.
- Are you moving files to Azure Files?
- What is the scale, in-terms of the number files/directories?
Thank you!
