Summary: Improve help text for setfacl --set option Key: HADOOP-16443 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16443 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: fs Affects Versions: 3.3.0 Reporter: Stephen O'Donnell Assignee: Stephen O'Donnell The help text associated with the command "setfacl --set" states: {quote} --set Fully replace the ACL, discarding all existing entries. The <acl_spec> must include entries for user, group, and others for compatibility with permission bits. {quote} However the actual behaviour is a bit more subtle: {quote} If the ACL spec contains only access entries, then the existing default entries are retained. If the ACL spec contains only default entries, then the existing access entries are retained. If the ACL spec contains both access and default entries, then both are replaced. {quote} This Jira will improve the help text to more align with the expected behaviour. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
