[gpfsug-discuss] replicating ACLs across GPFS's?

[Bryan Banister]

Thanks Simon,

I tried out the older patched version of rsync to see if that would work, but still not able to preserve ACLs from an non-GPFS source.  There was another thread about this on the user group some time ago as well (2013!), but doesn’t look like any real solution was found (Copy ACLs from outside sources<http://www.spectrumscale.org/pipermail/gpfsug-discuss/2013-October/000284.html>).

I’ve also tried tar | tar, but not luck with that either.

GPFS doesn’t support the nfs4_getacl, nfs4_setfacl, nfs4_editfacl suite of commands, but maybe that could be added??

I could maybe hack something up that would basically crawl the “outside source” namespace, using the nfs4_getacl operation get the NFSv4 ACLs, parse that output, then attempt to use GPFS `mmputacl` to store the ACL again.  This seems like a horrible way to go, likely prone to mistakes, tough to validate, nightmare to maintain.

Anybody got better ideas?

Thanks!

Oh I also heard a rumour of some sort of mmcopy type sample script, but I can’t see it in samples on 5.0.1-2…

Last time I built was still against 3.0.9, note there is also a PR in there which fixes the bug with symlinks.

If anyone wants to rebase the patches against 3.1.3, I’ll happily take a PR 😊

I’m checking in on this thread.  Is this patch still working for people with the latest rsync releases?

Thanks!
