User and group mount options for ext filesystems
I strongly agree with this. I have volumes on my file servers where I very strongly wish I could disable POSIX permissions entirely, replacing them with an inherited ACL from a file system root or subdirectory root.
I want to be able to say "Absolutely all files within this tree must always have the permissions <x>, don't make me waste my time with badly behaved programs that set stupid umasks, idiotic network access clients, etc. Just MAKE IT SO."
I believe the only way to get what you want is to use Samba and CIFS. It can't be done with local filesystems or NFS.
