Unified Storage System - user nobody owns everything
807557Oct 15 2009 — edited Nov 11 2009Why when I create a share on the Unified Storage System, that after the share is NFS mounted from a Solaris 10 client that all the files and directories created are owned by user "nobody" and I although I've read elsewhere that I can change the permissions on the files/directories, I can not seem to change ownership of the files/directories to any other account? I've been working on this off an on for the past 2 months and no matter which BigAdmin PDF document I use as a guide to create the share that the NFS permissions are always the same. Recently I changed the max NFS version from 4 to 3 in hopes that that would make a difference. Nothing has changed. I want to setup a simple /export/home share with permissions on the underlying folders specific to users as they would be their home directories. The system is attached to an Active Directory as well as using LDAP mappings with Sun Directory Server. CIFS seems to be working fine on other shares, however I haven't let the system out of my hands yet as the NFS shares are not working as expected. Anyone have ANY idea on how to get started on making this work? I could call in a support ticket for this but from what I read this "Unified Storage System" should be "easy" to setup and use. Please show me that it is. BTW. a basic BigAdmin article explaining the permissions on shares in the Unified Storage System would do wonders for us trying to understand the underlying workings of this box that has so much potential.
Thanks,
Brian.
