We did clean installs when we went to RHEL 4, but this no longer works. We are using NFSv3 between the two systems because we do not yet have our kerberos infrastructure setup yet for using NFSv4.
Both systems have all of the ACL packages installed, and ACL support is enabled for the filesystem on the NFS server.
We are exporting the filesystem in /etc/exports with a line similar to the following:
/my newserver.test.fit.edu(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
The filesystem on the NFS server with the following fstab line:
/dev/mapper/msa20-my /my ext3 defaults,acl,usrquota 0 0
The filesystem is mounted on the client using the following fstab line:
newserver.test.fit.edu:/my /my nfs timeo=14,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,hard,nfsvers=3,tcp 0 0
Doing an strace on a 'getfacl test' on the filesystem has the following results for the getxattr call, which illustrates our problem:
On the server, we get:
getxattr("/my/test", "system.posix_acl_access", "\x02\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x06\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\x04\x00\x04\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\x08\x00\x04\x000\x00\x00\x00\x10\x00\x04\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff \x00\x04\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff", 132) = 44
On the client we get:
getxattr("test", "system.posix_acl_access", 0x7fbffff390, 132) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
The Red Hat Administrators Guide at: https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-nfs-mount.html seems to indicate that this should still work.
Has anyone else run into this problem or know of a solution?
