Yep, set the ignore_acl option and it works great!

Thanks guys.

Ah yes, I remember using this one. Nice memory, Graham! Hopefully that's the right answer for you, Chuck. Let us know!

Probably because the file has an NT ACL that has been set so tightly that the root user cannot access it without taking ownership first, which cannot be done very easily from the command line.

Setting this (hidden) option will make this type of problem a thing of the past:

options cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl on

I used this extensively at my last position with very good results.

Hi all,

Why is root on a Unix admin host for a filer in a mixed env not really root? By that I mean why is it possible to create directories on the NetApp via a Cifs share that root has no access to?
