If /opt/lvmdir/c2 is the mountpoint, then make sure that a test-file
like /opt/lvmdir/c2/test-acl can have ACLs. It may require mounting
/opt/lvmdir/c2 with the "-o acl" option, but that depends on the
filesystem.

Also try to create a test-file on /tmp/a2 and check of ACLs work on the
Gluster FUSE mountpoint.

If these two filesystems support ACLs, I do not see a problem why the
kernel NFS server can not use them.

No, that should not matter.
