Advanced Multiprotocol Options

Prev Next

The following default multiprotocol behavior can be modified via the VAST CLI for multiprotocol (SMB and NFSv3) views:

  • GID inheritance

    Determines how files receive their owning group when they are created. The following options are available:

    • linux (default). Each new file inherits its owning group from the group ID of the user who creates the file.

    • bsd. Each new file inherits its owning group from the group ID of the parent directory.

    To change this default, either set it when creating a view policy using the viewpolicy create command, or change it using the viewpolicy modify command.
