Applies to

  • SUSE Linux
  • NFSv4

Issue

  • Mount a export using NFSv4
  • Run the ls -ld command, owner:group shows nobody:<group> example nobody:sapadmin.
  • Run chown command in a attempt to change the owner # chown user:group /<directory>.
  • ls -ld still shows the nobody:<group>.
  • On storage run ::*> vserver security file-directory show -vserver <> -path /<path>, shows the correct owner(UID):group(GID). This certifies the chown command was successful.
  • Temporarily mount the export as NFSv3, ls -ld shows the correct owner(UID):group(GID).
