( https://review.gerrithub.io/436434 Change subject: WIP: [GPFS] Implement ignore_mode_change config option ...................................................................... WIP: [GPFS] Implement ignore_mode_change config option File system options exist to deny any mode change, and only ACLs are used in such configurations. Any attempt to do mode change will fail leading to application failures as well as NFS client's exclusive file creation failure. Ignore mode change and return success based on an export config setting. This option is specific to GPFS FSAL exports. The default is false and the following ganesha config would enable ignore_mode_change option on GPFS FSAL export "/gpfs/gpfsA/fileset": EXPORT { export_id = 23; path = /gpfs/gpfsA/fileset; FSAL { name = GPFS; ignore_mode_change = true; } CLIENT { clients = *; access_type = RW; } } Change-Id: Id4b00ab051ce1e89db6b4e2caa72ee3434866586 Signed-off-by: Malahal Naineni <malahal(a)us.ibm.com&gt; --- M src/FSAL/FSAL_GPFS/export.c M src/FSAL/FSAL_GPFS/fsal_attrs.c M src/FSAL/FSAL_GPFS/gpfs_methods.h 3 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) git pull ssh://review.gerrithub.io:29418/ffilz/nfs-ganesha refs/changes/34/436434/1 -- To view, visit https://review.gerrithub.io/436434 To unsubscribe, or for help writing mail filters, visit https://review.gerrithub.io/settings Gerrit-Project: ffilz/nfs-ganesha Gerrit-Branch: next Gerrit-MessageType: newchange Gerrit-Change-Id: Id4b00ab051ce1e89db6b4e2caa72ee3434866586 Gerrit-Change-Number: 436434 Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 Gerrit-Owner: Malahal <malahal(a)gmail.com&gt;
