Hi,

We are running into a problem with a Samba setup and would like to
know if a current fix or workaround is at all possible.

Our setup is a NetApp filer serving NFS v4 that is mounted by
Solaris and Linux servers. On those servers we are using Samba to
create shares of those NFSv4 mounted filesystems. We are migrating
to this NFSv4 setup from an existing Solaris NFSv3+Posix ACL setup
that also had Samba shares on top of the NFSv3+ACL mounts.

Hi

We are using Samba4 and nfs3.

We're currently fighting a similar battle over of the nfs list about the incompatibility-with-everything-else'ness of nfs4 acls. It is not even possible to get group rw from a 0022 mounted umask. For this reason we have had to return to nfs3 and keep our posix acls which samba seems to respect. It is unfortunate that the nfs4 dev's have not listened to end users. The main aim seems to be to push to nfs4.1 at all costs.

The reply to this post says it all:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg27790.html

'The NFSv4 protocol does not support POSIX ACLs. It has its own
implementation of ACLs that is much more windows-like (yet not exactly
either)'

Maybe you could add an extra voice there?

Cheers and good luck,
Steve
