I failed to mention that all exports are currently from unix security styled qtrees. Switching to ntfs is an option.

Hi All,

First the basics - this is on a 3040A running 7.3.1.1P2. We also have a dev environment that is a 940C running 7.3.1.1P2 (not that the hardware should matter). Anyway...

With ONTAP, is there a way to force the directory mode, uid, gid and mask

of files? Here's our use-case:

We currently have numerous Solaris systems that have been running Samba for years. As part of an upgrade, we're looking to move this

Samba-shared

data from the local Solaris systems to our 3040A. The Solaris boxes

would

mount things up via NFS and users would hit the data via CIFS from our filers.

Most of the existing Samba shares are very vanilla. However, we have

more

than a handful that are setup with the aforementioned options. An

example

Samba config would be as follows:

• Force User Creation = foo
• Force Group = bar
• Create Mask = 644
• Force Directory Mode = 775

Is there any way to accomplish this on a filer? I'm working through the historical business reasons for all of these scenarios. It may be possible to change/update them, but I figured I'd check here first.

There is the anon= option for the NFS exports, but that's not really applicable here. We need the data dropped off via CIFS to have the

forced

options above when accessed via NFS. I haven't been able to find

anything

at NOW or in the documentation.
