Hi Folks, We have a $NFS_FILESERVER we're trying to replace with a ZFS based system. Everything works quite well except for some processes which fail trying to give away ownership of a file. In this instance, $NFS_FILESERVER has a system level option, root_only_chown, which is disabled, which allows the chown ownership giveaways to work. (Yes, it's a security issue. No, I can't change the process). Note, this is not a maproot issue. Wrong rabbit hole :-) I've started poking through the code. Also thought I'd ask here if anyone has run into this issue and how they solved it, or if anyone has any suggestions. Feel free to tell me I'm missing something obvious also... Thanks, John
