Dell FluidFS NAS Solutions Administrator's Guide

Description

NAS container security violation.

Cause

Selecting security style for a NAS container dictates the dominant protocol to be used to set permissions on files in this volume. NFS for UNIX security style volumes and CIFS for NTFS security style volumes.

Consequently, this makes some operations invalid:

• Setting UNIX permissions for a file in an NTFS Security style container.
• Setting UID/GID ownership for a file in an NTFS Security style container.
• Setting ACL for a file in a UNIX Security style container.
• Changing read-only flag for a file in a UNIX Security style container.
• Setting SID/GSID ownership for a file on UNIX Security style container.

The NAS container security style must reflect the main protocol used to access its files.

Workaround

If a user frequently needs to perform a cross-protocol security related activity, split the data into separate NAS containers based on the main access protocol.
