SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = linux_xfs_sgid

DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

vfs_linux_xfs_sgid is a VFS module to work around an old Linux XFS bug that still exists: Under certain circumstances the SGID bit is not inherited (http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280). The vfs_linux_xfs_sgid VFS module will work around this bug by manually setting the SGID bit after a mkdir if the parent directory had the SGID bit set.

This module is stackable.

EXAMPLES

Add syncops functionality for [share]:

        [share]
	\m[blue]vfs objects = linux_xfs_sgid\m[]

VERSION

This man page is correct for version 4.1.0 of the Samba suite.
