1 I'm not that familiar with nfs usage ... only used lightly a few
2 times.
3
4 I have an opensolaris nfs server serving a share to my gentoo box.
5
6 The mount point is set as owner:group of my user (reader).
7
8 Also has the set-gid bit set.
9
10 ls -ld /projects
11 drwxr-sr-x 2 reader wheel 48 Jun 24 07:08 /projects
12
13 And the mount settings in /etc/fstab
14 (zfs is the hostname of the opensolaris server)
15
16 zfs:/projects /projects nfs noauto,users,exec,dev 0 0
17
18 With those settings my user or root can mount it.
19
20 When its mounted the permissions change to this:
21
22 ls -ld /projects
23 drwxr-sr-x+ 13 reader man 14 Jul 25 09:47 /projects
24
25 Whats with the `man' group?
26
27 Also, when mounted I find when I try to copy somethihng with the -a
28 option, which tries to maintain any permission settings. It causes an
29 error warning... (although the copy is done).
30
31 cp -a file file1
32 cp: preserving permissions for `file1': Operation not supported
33
34 And the files permissions end up:
35 ls -l file*
36 -rw-r--r--+ 1 reader man 223962 Jul 26 15:56 file
37 -rw-r--r--+ 1 reader reader 223962 Jul 26 15:56 file1
38
39 Is there some way to set it up so that permissions can be copied?
40 Also to alow the set-gid setting to work?
