CIFS with AD permissions issue...

[Weescotty]

Maybe I am too used to Windows, but....

I have created a CIFS Volume with the Owner(User) as Admin and the Owner(Group) as domain admins (both from AD connection) - Owner/Group/Other have FULL access.

I then created a share with everything unchecked apart from "Browsable to Network Clients"

From Windows Client -
Going to the share is working
I then create a folder in the share called Marketing, and set permissions - admin, domain admins, marketing group full access.

Here is my 'problem' -
I use rsync to copy the share to another location for backing up purpose.
If one of the AD Marketing group creates a folder in the share they are set to the owner.
Even though the admin has full access, copying that folder fails because admin is not the owner.

Also cant 'block' permission inheritance from Windows to lower folders.

Help!!!

Cheers

from the WebGUI Shell, or an ssh session, run "getfacl" on the dataset to see what the NFSv4 permissions/attributes are.

Thanks,
I found part of the problem was I was trying a test run of rsync through SSH.
One I did it from the console the permission errors disappeared.

Still haven't figured out a way of making the CIFS permissions (inheritance or blocking etc) to work the same way Windows permissions work.
