Hey there,

I’m having a strange problem with a freshly deployed FAS2240 (8.1.2P3).

Some OSX Clients (iMacs, Macbooks, etc.) are having troubles to write files to the CIFS shares on that filer.

The share itself looks like this:

VOLUME       /vol/CIFS_SHARES/VOLUME

             ... access based enum supported

             ... client side caching disabled

                        NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users / Full Control

> qtree status

Volume   Tree     Style Oplocks  Status

-------- -------- ----- -------- ---------

CIFS_SHARES          ntfs  enabled  normal

CIFS_SHARES VOLUME   ntfs  enabled  normal

File permissions on the root of the share look like that:

Except for the „Authenticated Users“ entry, all other groups do have „Full Control“ Permissions on that share (at the root of the share).

At the root level of this share, there are several folders which do have permission inheritance disabled, i.e.:

\\netapp\VOLUME\DepartmentA

\\netapp\VOLUME\DepartmentB

…

On each of these subfolders, the permissions look like that:

So the SYSTEM group as well as some custom active directory groups do have Full Control on this folder and all of its subfolders.

The users in question are part of one of these groups (in that specific case, part of the group „Creative Services“) and can map the share and see it (which they cannot for other shares where they are not member of the respecitve groups, so ABE is working as it should).

Anyhow, no matter what I do, at all of these DepartmentX folders, I do see the read-only item grey-checked and cannot remove that, no matter what I do:

That does not seem to be a problem at all for all the Microsoft Windows clients, they can work and store files without issues – but the OSX clients seem to have problems for whatever reason.

The error message they are getting when trying to store a file in one of the folders there is (translated, the client is running in local language here):

Adobe Photoshop

Couldn’t save file „xyz.psd“ because no write access has been granted.

I’m thankful for any ideas you guys might have – maybe I’m missing just a small thing here in  my setup.

Thanks,
