We just got a F630 so I joined this list. I was wondering if anyone else has seen a problem with non-root users on NFS clients being unable to set the set-group bit.
We are running Data ONTAP 4.2a on a F630. On a NFS client the following commands have no effect when run by a non-root user on files owned by the user and served by the F630.
chmod g+s file chmod 2755 file
Neither of these set the set-group bit. If superuser runs these commands on a NFS client with root access, they work.
Once the set-group bit is set, a non-root user can unset it with
chmod g-s file or chmod 755 file
This has been reported to Netapp.

Seems to work fine for me:
% touch testing % ls -l testing -rw-r--r-- 1 news news 0 Nov 7 00:28 testing % chmod 2755 testing % ls -l testing -rwxr-sr-x 1 news news 0 Nov 7 00:28 testing
That's on a filesystem mounted from an F230 running 4.2a to a Solaris 2.5.1 client with the following mount options:
