2010-01-31 Thread Tim Thomas
/read_attributes/write_attributes/delete/read_acl /write_acl/synchronize:allow but this makes no difference...I can still change the group ownership. Clearly I am doing something wrong..or have incorrect expectations. Anyone got any ideas on this ? Thanks Tim -- *Tim Thomas Open Storage Technical

Hi I took a look at the archives and I have seen a few threads about using array block level snapshots with ZFS and how we face the "old issue" that we used to see with logical volumes and unique IDs (quite correctly) stopping the same volume being presented twice to the same server. IHAC wan
