Hello, When using the nfs4_setfacl tool I've found that recursive operations fail when using the d or f inheritance flags because nfs4_setfacl tries to apply them to files as well as directories, which obviously doesn't make sense. so nfs4_setfacl -R -s A:df:OWNER@:RWX,A:dfg:GROUP@:RWX,A:df:EVERYONE@:RX /directory You would expect to allow: owner read,write and execute group read,write and execute others read and execute applied to all directories and files under (and including) /directory, so that newly created files and directories also have the same permissions This fails with: Failed setxattr operation: Input/output error An error occurred during recursive file tree walk. When nfs4_setfacl encounters the first file. All directories before the first file are changed correctly Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug/missing feature? Also, the man page for nfs4_acl references nfs4_setacl in its SEE ALSO section, presumably this should be nfs4_setfacl? Finally, the man page references nfsv4@xxxxxxxxxxxxx in its CONTACT section NFS Server is Debian 7, kernel 3.2.0-4-686-pae Clients are Debian 7 and openSUSE 12.3 Thanks for your time -- 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
