Re: [SMB3][PATCH] add mount option to allow retrieving POSIX mode from special ACE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These are good points and I agree with the plan.

I would rename the option:

"modefromace" -> ""modefromsid"

to make the naming consistent with the existing "idsfromsid" and match
the behavior closely: a mode is still technically from the special SID
and that SID is from the special ACE. Other than that the patch looks
good.
