I agree it should be in release notes or documentation, it took me 3 days to track it down and I was searching for all kinds of combinations of "cephfs nfs" and "ceph nfs permissions". Perhaps just having this thread archived will make it easier for the next person to find the answer, though.

I only found this tracker issue [2] which fixes the behavior when issuing a "fs new" command, and it contains the same workaround (set the application metadata). Maybe this should be part of the (upgrade) release notes and the documentation so that users with older clusters are aware that their cephfs pools might be missing the correct metadata. Maybe it is already, I didn't find anything yet. [2] https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/43761 Zitat von Wyll Ingersoll <wyllys.ingers...@keepertech.com>: > YES!!
