Description of problem: There is a bug in the client-side NFS caching which causes the ACLs on a NFS mounted directories to "disappear". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.9.9-42.EL and any newer How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: On a server side (whatever system): 1. Create a NFS export: e.g. write into /etc/exports something like this: /tmp *(rw,no_root_squash) 2. Create a testing directory: mkdir /tmp/test1 3. Change its ACL somehow, e.g.: setfacl -m u:tsmetana:w /tmp/test1 On a client side (RHEL-4): 4. mount -t nfs <server>:/tmp -o rw /mnt/nfs_test 5. cd /mnt/nfs_test/test1 6. getfacl . (the output shows correct ACLs) 7. mkdir dir1 8. getfacl . (this output is different from the previous) Actual results: Only the default ACL is shown: # file: . # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x Expected results: The correct ACLs is shown: # file: . # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:tsmetana:-w- group::r-x mask::rwx other::r-x Additional info: This is a known bug that was fixed in the commit 4814f56d19137b3b9fa8e00e1d332b3683b950de NFSv3: Client-side nfsacl caching fix
