So I've been using the recommended gpfs:acl = yes mode for a while on windows/cifs/smb only shares and today came across a bug where Microsoft Office (2010, haven't tried other versions) on Windows 7/8 refuses to save or save as. It can clearly create tmp files (e.g. those ~$... files when it opens a file) and I can right click -> create a new file, edit files in notepad/wordpad, drag and drop files between explorer windows but whenever I try to save a doc/docx or xls/xlsx file it always throws the error dialog :
There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost. (mapped drive:\folder\fileName.docx) ( OK ) ( Help ) Was this information helpful? If i switch to gpfs:acl = no and then use vfs_acl_xattr instead it works fine. MS Office on OSX does not have this problem It's similar to this issue : https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=77777777-0000-0000-0000-000014299075 Anyone have any ideas without having to use acl_xattr? Again I'm using sernet samba 4.1.6 and gpfs 3.5.0.11 . Thanks, Sabuj
