Hello fellow admins,
I have running Solaris 8 with vxfs and have a slew of file system
acl's on directories
and files in the filesystem. I have a problem whereby the parent directory
has default
group/user permissions that should be inherited by subdirectories and
files. At any
time that I create a subdirectory, the appropriate permissions get
inherited and everything
is fine. However ... about 25% of the time, when I create a file in the
newly created
subdirectory, I do not get permissions inherited. (Neither a plus sign
appears near the
perms, not does a getfacl show any of the permissions that should have been
inherited).
But what is more than this, for the files that should have gotten
permissions and didn't, I cannot do a "setfacl -s" to assign any
permissions to it. (They just won't take)
And then, to complicate things further ... if I remove the
subdirectory that is
having problems, log out, log in and repeat the steps, it will most often
work as billed ...
meaning, the subdirectories and files inherit as is supposed to happen.
The other piece of info I can share is that when a subdirectory is
"good", it is good.
Meaning, all files get inherited permissions applied to them. But when
things are
"bad", no files get perms.
-Any see something like this? I am thinking this is a bug in the
filesystem or filesystem
manager that a patch has addressed ...
-Thanks in advance
