i know that there have been some questions concerning samba and xfs, but
until now i just can't get it to work the way i want it to. since i am a
member of the tng and head mailing lists i asked there first, but didn't
get a helpful reply on solving this one.
we are running a linux server using a recent samba tng checkout as pdc
and a recent samba head checkout as fileserver. the head is a member
server of the domain and uses of course the pdc as password server. the
pdc and fileserver are running on the same machine. the used filesystem
is xfs (version 1.0).
xfs works really fine and acls work. just the combination of samba and
xfs is not working.
what we want is changing the share/directory/file permissions of the
fileserver via acl support from the client. we tried with different
combinations (xfs-1.0 / xfs-2.4.4 / head / 2.2.0 / tng ). some
combinations even crashed our entire system. using 2.2.0 kind of works
but only with local groups no domain users/groups. with the head we get
all wanted users and groups but the chosen acls are not mapped on the
system files (setting acls fails).
i'd like to know if this is possible at all and what combination
xfs/samba others are using and is known to work.
could it become a problem that the fileserver is a member of the domain
and should use domain users instead of local users?
is someone actually running a samba/xfs system and is able to change
acls from client?
thank you and i hope i am not too off topic
