[NFS-Ganesha-Devel] NFSv3 CREATE op is breaking RFC1813

23 Feb 2023

      NFSv3 CREATE is returning NFS3ERR_PERM on permission error, which seems to
breaking the RFC as all the return errors for CREATE:

ERRORS
      NFS3ERR_IO
      NFS3ERR_ACCES
      NFS3ERR_EXIST
      NFS3ERR_NOTDIR
      NFS3ERR_NOSPC
      NFS3ERR_ROFS
      NFS3ERR_NAMETOOLONG
      NFS3ERR_DQUOT
      NFS3ERR_STALE
      NFS3ERR_BADHANDLE
      NFS3ERR_NOTSUPP
      NFS3ERR_SERVERFAULT

We should have returned NFS3ERR_ACCES, instead of NFS3ERR_PERM.

Although in NFSv4 CREATE, NFS3ERR_PERM is valid.

What are your thoughts?
