Ooooo ... not sure _I'd_ mess what / on a Windows system!

I have no problem doing:

mkdir temp
getfacl . | setfacl -f - temp
getfacl temp | setfacl -f .
getfacl / | setfacl -f .

I didn't want to try setting things on /, but
you might:

cd /
mkdir foo
getfacl foo | setfacl -f - .

But I am not sure what foo would have as its permission, i.e., whether
they are what you want.
