Subject: No longer set S_ISVTX when mounted to Windows
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 11:08:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <524f69650711010908r2f08fa35t9be074e3c92b01ec@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Not sure why the cifs code sets the S_ISVTX bit when mounted to
Windows servers.  I think the intent was to turn off all of the high
bits except that (S_ISGID) needed to indicate mandatory locking
(mandatory locking is set by having S_ISGID on and group execute,
S_IXGRP, off).  When reviewing the cifsacl code (to map
CIFS/Windows/NTFS ACLs to mode bits I noticed that we were setting the
sticky bit (S_ISVTX) on files (this does not happen when a user
specifies a default mode on mount) and probably shouldn't.  Does
anyone see any problem with turning this bit off in the default file
mode when mounted to Windows?
