NFSv4 / POSIX ACL mapping bug?
Subsystems (2)
Hi, This question is probably too simple for this nfs developer list, but I am intrigued to know if this is a bug or not, I do not find any other reference to anyone with this problem
Ineed some help clarifying this issue in order to know if this is a bug or limits of the NFSv4 / POSIX ACL mapping before reporting it
Creating a directory on the server with the following POSIX ACLs, rwx for the group "sharedgroup" and same defaults:
############################################################
# file: directory
# owner: root
# group: rootuser::rwx
group::r-x
group:sharedgroup:rwxmask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:sharedgroup:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---
############################################################
Creating files with the same user with umask 022 on the server an on the NFS client, the files do not get the same POSIX ACL mask:
############################################################
# file: client
# owner: test
# group: testgroup
user::rw-
group::r-x #effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx #effective:r--
mask::r--
other::r--
# file: server
# owner: test
# group: testgroup
user::rw-
group::r-x #effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx #effective:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--
############################################################
Is this normal or a bug?, My interpretation is that even that the mapping of the ACLs is not 100% perfect this simple example should not be a problem. Is it impossible using NFS to create a shared directory for a group of users?
Thanks in advance
