Chapter 6 Share And File Access - Adaptec 5325301507 Administrator's Manual

Share and File Access
SnapServer has implemented features to accommodate the disparate
methods used by the SMB and NFS protocols for sharing data. At the share
level, administrators can assign read-write or read-only share access to
individual Windows (and local) users and groups. Administrators can also
edit the NFS exports file to control how shares are exported to NFS client
machines.
The SMB and NFS protocols also part ways in their handling of file-level
permissions. Administrators can choose to apply Windows or UNIX-style
file-level permissions to entire volumes or to directories at the root of a
volume (aka SnapTree directories). These security-based directory
structures are referred to as SnapTrees.
File and directories in a Windows SnapTree can have either a Windows or
UNIX security personality, depending on the network protocol used to
create the file or change permissions on it. Files in a UNIX Snap Tree always
have the UNIX security personality and can only be set by NFS clients.
