options cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl can be thought of the opposite to your /etc/usermap.cfg where it maps Administrator == root.

The usermap.cfg file says "If you see the domain administrator, treat him/her like root for any files/directories with Unix permissions. This is handy if you are using Unix (or mixed with Unix permissions on the file/directory) on the volume or qtree (hope that made sense.)

"cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl on" is the opposite. If you have NTFS semantics on your directory/file/qtree/volume turning this option on says "If I have NFS root permissions, then I'm god!" Very handy if you're like me and use a Unix system to do administration, ONTAP updates, etc. Of course this assumes you have the exports file setup properly to allow that Unix host root access.

Hi Paramod & Fellow toasters users,

Thanks for all of the help andinfo. I tried adding the –mount option to the export file, but it made no change in the problem. I did find the correction to the problem though.  Options cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl was set to ON. When I turned it off everything works just the way it should. Dose any one know what cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl dose? Should it not be switch off?

Thanks,

Blake

Dunno if you have already tried this but have you tried giving permission specifically to the server you are trying to access. Give the -root and -mount options to the host which you are trying to access and after re-exporting, try mounting again.

Thanks

Subject:ETC Access Problem

Hello,

I’m having a problem accessing the etc folder on the netapp from my linux servers. Below is a copy of my exports file.

/vol/vol0/home

/vol/vol0/etc

/vol/vol0

When I try to mount /vol/vol0 or /vol/vol0/etc on any of my linux servers I get permission denied. Even if I try to mount from the administrative host it gives me this error message. Dose anyone have any idea on what could cause this and how to fix it? This is an F760 filer running 6.1.2R1. Thanks for your help.

Blake
