Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NAS / NFS (Unix and CIFS permissions)
  • Qtree permissions

Issue

  • Users getting permission denied on NFS clients when trying to do cd or ls into a Unix path inside a Qtree and the main volume is NTFS security style.
[user1@demo~]$ cd /home/apps/finalpathbash: 
cd: /home/apps/finalpath: Permission denied
  • Qtree parent volume security style is set to NTFS, so CIFS users are able to access the volume: 
::> vserver security file-directory show -vserver vs1 -path /vol/volumepath/

                Vserver: vs1
              File Path: /vol/volumepath/
      File Inode Number: 64

  • Qtree is intended to be accessed only by Unix users, but permissions are set to NTFS:

::> vserver security file-directory show -vserver vs1 -path /vol/volumepath/QtreePath

                Vserver: vs1
              File Path: /vol/volumepath/QtreePath
      File Inode Number: 64
