Hi Toasters,
We are sharing a Unix sec. style qtree to (at least one) MacOS
10.7 client via CIFS and they are having problems saving
files with MS Word. The client writes the new file to
a temporary file and then fails to rename it into place.
The temp file exists and is correct because we can verify
this from a NFS client.
A Unix sec. style share appears to be a VFAT (not NTFS)
volume to a CIFS client. Under the hood the filer enforces
Unix permissions, of course, but all that is hidden from
the CIFS client. I suspect that MacOS is looking
for a permission that VFAT does not support and is
erroneously assuming it cannot rename the file.
Just curious if this rings a bell with anyone and if there
is any documentation or workaround for it. We are running
DOT 8.0.1 7mode on the filer.
I need to get together with the user who is having trouble
and use the sectrace command to see if the filer is actually
denying access.
