I=92ve posted this same email to the linux NFS mailing list since I =
think it might be client-side problem, but thought I might look for =
input here as well.
problem: when using chown as root on a nfs4 filesystem on newer linux =
releases file owners get sets to nobody.
the user type doesn=92t seem to matter (/etc/passwd, LDAP, =
Samba4)
setup: Server is FreeBSD 10 system with NFSv4 share.
Server and clients are all configured with the same idmap domain
Network users have consistent uid/gid on server and clients
clients with older linux releases work OK (Ubuntu 12.04, CentOS 5 =
and 6)
clients with newer linux releases do not work ( Fedora 20, Ubuntu =
14.04, Mint 16 )
clues:
1. working and non-working systems get to the same fchownat() system =
call with the same arguments (via strace).
example (identical on working and non-working client):
...
fchownat(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt/test", 11111, 4294967295, 0) =3D 0
close(1) =3D 0
close(2) =3D 0
close(4) =3D 0
exit_group(0) =3D ?
+++ exited with 0 +++
2. working system sends NFSV4 SETATTR request with owner set to: =
matlab@nimgs.com and non-working as 11111 (via wireshark)
3. I can=92t rule out misconfiguration. but I=92ve configured as =
identically as I could, and tried a lot of small vairations. these are =
my current settings (the pipefs settings are the distro defaults)
