Resolution

You need to use the nfs4-getfacl / nfs4-setfacl commands on NFSv4 mount.The setfacl does not work with NFSv4.

To make these commands available, installation of the package "nfs4-acl-tools package" is required.

Example for Debian-based distros ( Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.):
[root@hostname xyz]#apt-get install nfs4-acl-tools
[root@hostname xyz]#

[root@hostname xyz]#mount
