Hi @all, with ZFS its recommended to create a new filesystem, for example for each user to give them a home directory.
So far, so good. The homes should be under tank/export/home/staff and my intention is to restrict the ACL rights so only the user self can access his own home directory. I study the ZFS Admin Guide and found the aclmode and aclinherit options, IMHO for my intention the following configuration fits my wishes / needs. zfs set aclmode=discard tank/export/home/staff zfs set aclinherit=passthrough-x tank/export/home/staff Now i set the ACLs on these staff directory : /bin/chmod A=owner@:rwxp---A-W-Cos:-------:allow /export/home/staff /bin/chmod A1+owner@:rwxp---A-W-Cos:fdi----:allow /export/home/staff /bin/chmod A2+group@:r-x---a-R-c--s:-------:allow /export/home/staff /bin/chmod A3+everyone@:------a-R-c--s:fdi----:allow /export/home/staff /bin/chmod A4+everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow /export/home/staff Creating a "normal" directory resulting in expected mode: mkdir /export/home/staff/userx /bin/ls -Vd /export/home/staff/userx drwx------+ 2 root root 2 Jun 22 09:27 /export/home/staff/userx owner@:rwxp---A-W-Cos:fdi---I:allow owner@:rwxp---A-W-Cos:------I:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:fdi---I:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:------I:allow But when creating a new filesystem the ACL stay unchanged zfs create tank/export/home/staff/usery /bin/ls -Vd /export/home/staff/usery drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 Jun 22 09:40 /export/home/staff/usery owner@:--------------:-------:deny owner@:rwxp---A-W-Co-:-------:allow group@:-w-p----------:-------:deny group@:r-x-----------:-------:allow everyone@:-w-p---A-W-Co-:-------:deny everyone@:r-x---a-R-c--s:-------:allow I played around with aclmode and aclinherit but creating a new zfs filesystem always resulting in the same ACL. Is this the intended behavior by the developers of ZFS ? Or is there any posibility to create a filesystem considering inherited ACLs ?
