> t1304 first runs setfacl as an experiment to see whether the
> filesystem supports ACLs, and skips the remaining tests if
> it does not. However, our setfacl run did not exercise the
> ACLs very well, and some filesystems may support our initial
> setfacl, but not the rest of the test.

> that the inherited ACL is propagated correctly. The latter
> catches the ecryptfs bug, but may also catch other bugs
