Hi

Which client, which server (distro and uname -a output) did you use? Also, what commands (setfacl,getfacl? nfs4_setfacl, nfs4_getfacl ? plus version) and parameters did you use?

Thanks, here is the missing data

NFS Server:
  CentOS release 5.6
Linux *** 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 12 18:10:13 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Client:
  Fedora 15
Linux *** 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri May 27 05:44:56 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The acls are POSIX ACLs assigned server side

=================================================
Commands on the CentOS NFS server:
not on the NFS mounted directory but on the source filesystem that is exported, using root
=================================================
# umask 022
# mkdir directory
# setfacl -m d:g:sharedgroup:rwx directory
# setfacl -m g:sharedgroup:rwx directory
# touch directory/server
# getfacl directory/server

# file: directory/server
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::r-x			#effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx		#effective:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--


=================================================
Commands on the Fedora NFS client:
using a non root user (a Kerberos authenticated user in our setup named test)
=================================================
$ umask 022
$ touch directory/client

=================================================
Commands on the CentOS NFS server:
=================================================
# getfacl directory/client

# file: directory/client
# owner: test
# group: ipausers
user::rw-
group::r-x			#effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx		#effective:r--
mask::r--
other::r--

When the file is created locally it gets the default ACL from "directory" with mask "mask::rw-"

Thanks in advance

Hi, This question is probably too simple for this nfs developer list, but I am intrigued to know if this is a bug or not, I do not find any other reference to anyone with this problem

Ineed some help clarifying this issue in order to know if this is a bug or limits of the NFSv4 / POSIX ACL mapping before reporting it

Creating a directory on the server with the following POSIX ACLs, rwx for the group "sharedgroup" and same defaults:

############################################################
# file: directory
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:sharedgroup:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:sharedgroup:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---
############################################################

Creating files with the same user with umask 022 on the server an on the NFS client, the files do not get the same POSIX ACL mask:

############################################################
# file: client
# owner: test
# group: testgroup
user::rw-
group::r-x                   #effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx        #effective:r--
mask::r--
other::r--

# file: server
# owner: test
# group: testgroup
user::rw-
group::r-x                   #effective:r--
group:sharedgroup:rwx        #effective:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--
############################################################

Is this normal or a bug?, My interpretation is that even that the mapping of the ACLs is not 100% perfect this simple example should not be a problem. Is it impossible using NFS to create a shared directory for a group of users?

Thanks in advance
