[gpfsug-discuss] TSM errors restoring files with ACL's

[Jonathan Buzzard]

I am seeing that whenever I try and restore a file with an ACL I get the 
a ANS1589W error in /var/log/dsmerror.log

ANS1589W Unable to write extended attributes for ****** due to errno: 
13, reason: Permission denied

But bizarrely the ACL is actually restored. At least as far as I can 
tell. This is the 8.1.11-0 TSM client with GPFS version 5.0.5-1 against 
a 8.1.10-0 TSM server. Running on RHEL 7.7 to match the DSS-G 2.7b 
install. The backup node makes the third quorum node for the cluster 
being as that it runs genuine RHEL (unlike all the compute nodes which 
are running CentOS).

Googling I can't find any references to this being fixed in a later 
version of the GPFS software, though being on RHEL7 and it's derivatives 
I am stuck on 5.0.5

Surely root has permissions to write the extended attributes for anyone? 
It would seem perverse if you have to be the owner of a file to restore 
the ACL's.


JAB.
