Lest we all forget.....NFSv4?
Solaris 10 has it, Mnay version of Linux has it.
Granted I have done very limited testing, but I am able to set and control ACLs using getfacl and setfacl under solaris and linux.
If this with a qtree/volume in ntfs mode? Or do files in unix mode qtrees/volumes acquire ACLs if you use NFSv4 to them?
What is nice is that the ACL is obeyed by nfsv3 clients as well. I bet a lucky side-effect.
This "common" ACL support sure looks like it will beat mixed-mode.
I would certainly like to think that NFSv4 will solve everyone's problems. :-)
If there are toaster-readers who have practical experience with using NFSv4 to filers, with or without CIFS access to the same files, it would be great if they could describe that to the rest of us. When we've had people from NetApp come and talk to us, they've often said that yes, interworking between NFSv4 and CIFS is fine, but turn out to be short on nitty-gritty details when cross-examined.
