What to Do If File Access Control Lists Are Lost After Copy or Restore

Cause: Files or directories with access control lists (ACLs) were copied or restored into the /tmp directory, and the ACL attributes were lost. The /tmp directory is usually mounted as a temporary file system, which doesn't support UNIX file system (UFS) attributes such as ACLs.

Solution: Copy or restore files into the /var/share/tmp directory instead.
