a.

Verify there is enough free space on the

NAS volume or expand it.

b.

Verify that the accessed NAS volume is not

a target of a replication.

Mixed File Ownership Denied

Description

Both file owner and group owner must be from the

same identity type (either UNIX or NTFS). An

attempt to set different identity types was

detected.

Cause

It is impossible to change only the file owner ID to

UID if the original file ownership is SID/GSID.

Workaround

To change the file ownership to UNIX style

ownership, set UID and GID at the same time.

Problematic SMB Access From A Linux Client

Description

A Linux/UNIX client is trying to mount a NAS

cluster solution share using SMB (using /etc/fstab

or directly using smbmount).
A Linux/UNIX client is trying to access the file

system using the smbclient command, such as:
smbclient /// -U user

%password -c ls

Workaround

It is recommended that you use the NFS protocol

interfaces to access the NAS cluster solution

FluidFS systems from Linux/UNIX clients. To

workaround this issue:

1.

Ensure that your admin creates NFS exports to

same locations that you use to access using

CIFS and connect to them using mount

command from Linux/UNIX clients.

2.

Use NFS-based interfaces to access the NAS

cluster solution. For example, from the

NAGIOS Linux management system, use the /

check_disk command instead of the /

check_disk_smb command.

Strange UID And GID Numbers On Dell NAS System Files

Description

New files created from Ubuntu 7.x clients get the

UID and GID of 4294967294 (nfsnone).

Cause

By default, Ubuntu 7.x nfs clients do not specify rpc

credentials on their nfs calls. As a result, files

created from these clients, by any user, are owned

by 4294967294 (nfsnone) UID and GID.

Workaround

To force UNIX credentials on NFS calls, add the

sec=sys option to the NAS cluster solution mounts

in the Ubuntu fstab file.
