  • NFS

Description

  • It is desired to have all new directories, upon creation associated with a particular group
  • setgid can be used for providing this behavior for a particular directory, but the desired behavior is to have all directories, regardless of parent directory receive the group in question as the group owner
  • There is no volume or qtree-level option for this, in general, though a similar behavior can be achived using NFSv4 ACLs, if that is acceptable in the desired scenario
  • NFSv4 doesn't need to be enabled for general client access, though it must be enalbed at least long enough to set the needed ACLs from an administrative host
