It looks like it may just be this: static struct accessmap nfs3_diraccess[] = { { NFS3_ACCESS_READ, MAY_READ }, { NFS3_ACCESS_LOOKUP, MAY_EXEC }, { NFS3_ACCESS_MODIFY, MAY_EXEC|MAY_WRITE|MAY_TRUNC }, { NFS3_ACCESS_EXTEND, MAY_EXEC|MAY_WRITE }, { NFS3_ACCESS_DELETE, MAY_REMOVE }, { 0, 0 } }; So it doesn't claim write is allowed unless exec is also allowed. I think that's actually how the local filesystem behaves--is there any operation you can do locally with only write permissions? Why is this behavior a problem for you, anyway? --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
