Following problem under High Sierra with APFS:

I create a folder with these permissions:

drwxrwx--- 2 root admin 64B 27 Sep 01:09 test

no acl is applied. With my user account "user" logged in the Finder.app showed up the folder with a "red no entry sign" and I have no access to this folder. So far as good, everything work liked expected.

Now I add an ACE for my user "user" with the following permissions:

drwxrwx---+ 2 root admin 64B 27 Sep 01:09 test
0: user:user allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity

Now I expect that my user should have granted access to this folder, but nothing changed. Finder.app show still the "red no entry sign" and generate an error on trying to access the folder.

Maybe I overlook something, may someone double-checked this and give me an advice?

Not a macOS expert, but the + sign means there's an ACL on it, at least for other *nix OS. Does "getfacl test" show you anything different than what you're expecting?

my fault, sorry guys:

the first one is wrong, theres NO plus sign. I corrected the first post!!!!

the output is generated with the ls -e option, whole command is ls -lae


BTW: Anyone knows how to move the post to the "macOS High Sierra (10.13)" forum?

Have you found a solution to this problem?
Also it seems this does not only affect APFS, but HFS volumes, too.
