vxfs ACL problem
Has anyone had any experience with VXFS and ACL's? For some reason when these two are used together ACL's don't seem to work properly (i.e. sometimes ACL's won't be applied to files in a directory so that when trying to move the directory, the new directory is created but the old directory still exists). We applied a patch to try to fix this but it did not work.

Seems to be a known problem (at least from what I'm seeing)

What is the OS (and version) and version of Vertias? Which patch did you apply?

Running Solaris 2.8

From pkginfo:

PKGINST: VRTSvxfs
NAME: VERITAS File System
CATEGORY: system,utilities
ARCH: sparc
VERSION: 3.4,REV=GA03
BASEDIR: /
VENDOR: VERITAS Software
DESC: Commercial File System
PSTAMP: VERITAS-3.4_2002_03_12
INSTDATE: Jul 14 2002 14:39

It's not my machine, but a machine at work.Anyway, I'm not sure which patch was applied, but the SysAdmin here looked on the net (I'm guessing Veritas and Sun) and said that the patch we have is the latest.

If you have put all the required patches then either it should work, or the patches don't fix your problem.

Since it's vxfs, you probably won't be able to fix it (as the problem is within Veritas's way of doing the acl).

VXFS 3.4 - three patches noted:
110433-07 - Solaris 2.6
110434-08 - Solaris 7
110435-07 - Solaris 8

Also noted one bug report about vxfs and the rename() system call - it isn't to be fixed until version 3.5 (if then).
