Hello,
I have an Equallogic FS7610 (firmware: 4.0.300098) on which I'm testing out NFS4 ACLs. I'm seeing some strange behavior that I wanted to reach out to the community regarding.
I'm keeping this pretty simple, as we've not typically used NFS4 ACLs (typically just use standard POSIX permissions). I have a folder, which I've set to be wide open for user and group via ACLs (nfs4_setfacl -e <folder name>, apply all permissions for user@ and group@). The actual line is something like
A:d:OWNER@:rwaDdxtTnNcCoy
A:dg:GROUP@:rwaDdxtTnNcCoy
When I look at the standard permissions it looks as if 770 has been applied - great! However, when I go into that directory and try to make a folder, I am told I can't create a folder because said folder already exists. Where it gets strange is the folder is actually created, but the proper permissions are not inherited.
Normally, I would move on with my life, but there appears to be an issue with the CIFS shares ignoring the UNIX permissions unless NFS4 ACLs have been applied.
If you need more information from me, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing if other folks have encountered this or not and what they have done to fix it.
