Re: Is there a fast way to get acl's for the whole filesystem (or chunk thereof)

For backup, I am trying to dump a list of the acl's for the files being backed up since my backup program doesn't handle the acls.

When I use something like:
    find /c -exec getfacl {} \;>  mysavefile

It is slow, in part at least because it has to fork a call to getfacl on
each file found.
Is there a faster way to do this (hopefully without having to go write
C-code)?

find /c -exec getfacl {} \+> mysavefile


?
