If I reexport the same filesystems with root=... option, files are created with correct group ownership. I have to think about it, but on the first glance NetApp behavior is correct. As root= option is missing it maps root to anonymous user, and as anon=0 is present, this anonymous user is root. What do standards say about group ownership in this case? -- 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
