Finding files w/optional ACLs in JFS filesystems

[Greg Wooden]

Hello All,

Any idea why the -aclv option to find fails to identify files w/optional ACLs in a JFS filesystem:

#find /home -aclv opt

While the HFS version of the command does return valid results:

#find /stand -acl opt

Any help is appreciated...

What is the vxfs version of /opt. If I remember correctly JFS version 4 and above support acl.

Hi Greg,

Maybe this link would help,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000063211010

The itrc doc id is S3100006138.

It suggests creating a file /etc/logingroup linked to /etc/group.

ln -s /etc/group /etc/logingroup

Hope this helps.

More clarification:

I'm running JFS 3.3 version 4 which supports JFS filesystem ACLs. Next, its the "-acl" find option (for HFS) filesystems that is returning valid results. The "-aclv" find option (for JFS) filesystems is NOT returning files with OPTIONAL ACLs.

Thx.

I know it's a lot of trouble but it sometimes helps to mention the version of your OS. PHCO_20575 fixes a problem with find that might apply:

I just tried your find on an 11.11 box and it works just fine.
