Hello Axel,

attached is a small tool to test fchown on a freshly created file:
<<t.c>>

Damn... didn't go through... ;-)


These are the tests I've made using this tool:

So I should alter the to subject to
    ... with AIX, NFS4 and netapp ...

Back to your question:

Wouldn't it be worth to check what kind of entity gets created under
your environment?

yes and it's just a raw file

and as suspected conclusion

EINVAL is returned because the owner or group ID is not a value supported
by the implementation (of NFS4 on netapp filers?)

I just encountered this one:

        http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-July/024059.html

which seems to indicate that a fchmod(fd, -1, -1) appears to fail on some NFS/OS combinations. As a result, I'm not sure whether entirely hiding the log message is a good idea; perhaps just change the logging level would be better, so that one keeps the ability to track possibly problematic file systems...

Axel
