I was building an RPM this evening that installs some group writeable
directories, and I was puzzled when the directories got installed with the
correct permissions -- but the wrong group.
I thought I'd found a bug in rpm, but I was even more puzzled when
attempts to change the group manually (via chgrp) failed. Here's a
transcript:
# cd /var
# mount | grep /var
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target10/lun0/part5 on /var type xfs
(rw,logbufs=8,logbsize=32768)
# touch foo
# ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 9 22:09 foo
# chgrp adm foo
# ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 9 22:09 foo
(Note that I'm just using 'adm' as an example, because it probably exists
in your group file, too.)
This appears to be happening on all of my XFS filesystems. On the other
hand, it works as expected on my ext2 filesystems.
I'm running XFS out of CVS as of some time on Apr. 6.
