You can see the OPEN that creates the file in frame 56. If expand OPEN->Open Type you'll see the only attribute it's setting htere is mode_umask, with mode 0666 and umask 022. There's a GETATTR later in the compound which queries attributes including the mode. The reply, in frame frame 57, gives 0666 for the mode. So, that's a server bug: for some reason the server isn't applying the umask it was given. > >In 4.2 the umask is sent in a separate attribute, in earlier versions the > >umask and open mode are combined by the client and only the result is sent. > > Does "separate attribute" mean "future packet transmission", or is the > file_create+change_mode operation still atomic?

So the mode_umask is being sent as part of the OPEN, and knfsd is supposed to apply the mode and umask atomically. > >What filesystem type is /users/files on on lnxsvr1? > > reiserfs, with XATTRs disabled: > > CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y > # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set > # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set > # CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR is not set OK, seems unlikely to be a reiserfs bug, but that's also something that's probably doesn't get a lot of testing. --b.
