I've been struggling with this issue for a couple of months as well. I used to solve it by patching and recompiling the kernel. See here for more details: http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2009-November/011643.html
The issue has been fixed in vanilla kernel from 2.6.33.2. Also see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=patch;\ h=462d60577a997aa87c935ae4521bd303733a9f2b All it takes is to apply the patch below. Strangely enough, Debian Lenny has fixed as. As have a lot of other distributions, especially server oriented. After all, it was diagnosed and fixed in Nov 2009. diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c index 83ad47c..32b11c0 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c @@ -2096,7 +2096,7 @@ nfs4_xdr_enc_getacl(struct rpc_rqst *req, __be32 *p, encode_compound_hdr(&xdr, req, &hdr); encode_sequence(&xdr, &args->seq_args, &hdr); encode_putfh(&xdr, args->fh, &hdr); - replen = hdr.replen + nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz + 1; + replen = hdr.replen + op_decode_hdr_maxsz + nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz + 1; encode_getattr_two(&xdr, FATTR4_WORD0_ACL, 0, &hdr); xdr_inline_pages(&req->rq_rcv_buf, replen << 2, I can confirm that the ppa kernels 2.6.33 and up fix the problem, but they should as the vanilla kernel has this fix. However, running a stock Ubuntu Lucid kernel with the fix instead of a ppa kernel is much preferred. -- NFS4 acl ops do not work with standard kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562913 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
