Description

Error Message

nfs4_setfacl -x A::EVERYONE@:tcy helloworld
Failed setxattr operation: Input/output error

 

Cause

The root cause of this issue is the limitation of NFS4 ACL support on Veritas Filesystem.

 

Resolution

Unfortunately, there is no solution available for enabling NFS4 ACL support on exported VXFS file systems. The inability of NFS clients to use ACLs on vxfs is a known limitation. 

 

Issue/Introduction

Support of NFS4 ACLs on exported VXFS file system is not functioning properly. The primary symptom is the failure of the "nfs4_setfacl" command on a VXFS file system exported to an NFS4 client. The error message "Failed setxattr operation: Input/output error" is displayed.
