| Mar 15, 2016 at 13:14 | comment | added | Lambert | I believe acls are allowed by default and that you can explicitly allow (acl) and/or disallow (noacl) using the mount options. See wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Access_Control_Lists for details. What is the filesystem you are using? What is the output of the setfacl and getfacl commands? | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | Sriram | The /etc/fstab entry does not have an acl in the options taken while mounting. Could that also be a reason why this is not mounting correctly? Do I need to remount with acl options set? | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | Lambert | For existing directories you may need to set the extended ACLs recursively. See man setfacl and search for 'recursive' | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 12:03 | comment | added | Sriram | I tried both commands as you suggested, but the I am still unable to delete any files/folders within oldApps. | |

| Mar 15, 2016 at 10:17 | comment | added | Sriram | Thanks for your reply. I have updated the question. I realize that making changes to sudoers is not ideal. How do I create a directory without a line in sudoers? | |
