Problems/question: Online-JFS and ACL

[Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch]

Hi,

we want to use ACL on our file server.
The basic features are working, but
I can not add more then 7 users, if I
want to allow access to a certain folder ...

The problem is simply that we already have a lot
of project groups. Using ACL can reduce it, when
the people would be able to add 5-25 people
allowing the access to files/folders.

Any hint ?

The error message is: no space left on the device, HPUX 11.00

Bye, Peer

Hello,

yes this error message means that probably one of your FS is full, I think it's probably /home...

Hi,

there a filesystems, but not this one is full,
nor a os system fs (vg00 has space).

mkdir ACL2
setacl -mgroup::--- ACL2
bash-2.03$ getacl ACL2
# file: ACL2
# owner: pkoch
# group: users
user::rwx
group::---
class:---
other:r-x


setacl -m user:gzuk:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:mmueller:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:bsmolny:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:kschind:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:mkastow:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:tmai:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:srichter:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:jrichter:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:pbauer:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:bwild:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:ychen:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:shege:r-- ACL2
setacl -m user:okolle:r-- ACL2

Everything OK and working, but now

setacl -m user:langlotz:r-- ACL2
acl failed for "ACL2", No space left on device

I think that you are hitting the limit of JFS 3.3. It can't have more than 13 entries per acl (not including 4 base entries).

From acl(2)

ENOSPC cmd is ACL_SET and nentries is greater than NACLVENTRIES, which is defined in .

ENOSPC = no space left on the device

Hi,

Ok, not nice, but I can understand now what's going on.
Is this limit also in new versions of vxfs ?

Bye, Peer

[Ermin Borovac]

I think they increased the limit with JFS 3.5, however JFS 3.5 does not seem to be available on 11.00.
