I'm running RedHat 7.2 build from your RedHat 7.2 ISO XFS ver 1.02 with
Samba 2.2.3a and Winbind
This comes with Kernel 2.4.9
My other machine (Machine2) is RedHat 7.2 ext3 with Kernel 2.4.17 with
POSIX ACL Samba 2.2.3a and Winbind
What I was doing with Machine2 was using Winbind from Samba to use a Windows
NT PDC to get usernames and group names from.
With this config I could add and remove multiple users and groups using my
Windows Explorer and make multiple ACE changes.
This was great but we like the performance of XFS.
The POSIX ACL site doesn't have patches to work with XFS. The site is
http://acl.bestbits.at/ They are on version 0.7.27
The only version of POSIX ACL I can find that your XFS ver 1.02 has is an
RPM ver acl-1.1.3-0. I don't see any correlation of version numbers except
the kernel they are configured for.
With your version of POSIX ACL I am not able to make any changes from a
Windows Explorer. I have spoken to the SAMBA Team and they first thought
they had a bug in the new 2.2.3a. But I can get it to work with ext3 so now
I think that the problem is the version of POSIX ACL you have included in
ver 1.02.
What I would like to try is either installing RedHat 7.2 with XFS ver 1.02
without POSIX ACL and then recompile with Kernel 2.4.17 and ACL POSIX
0.7.27. If this is possible.
Or if there already is a fix for my problem that you may know about.
Either way I need assistance from the awesome creators of XFS.
Is there source of XFS ver 1.02 without ACL or do you know of a way to
update XFS ver 1.02 to the ACL POSIX 0.7.27 and later kernel if needed.
Any help would be appreciated.
