Situation
After migrating data from posix NCP volume to an NSS volume using
migfiles, users can no longer access their data files or home
directories on the volume. The folders appear empty.
Resolution
Fixed in July 2013 OES Scheduled Maintenance update for OES2SP3,
OES11, and OES11SP1
Packages:
novell-ncpenc
novell-sms
Packages:
novell-ncpenc
novell-sms
Cause
After digging into this further we found that the migration process
was putting an inherited rights filter on all the directories and
files so the user with specific trustees to directories can see the
directory but not any files inside of it. (because of IRF on each
file inside the directory).
Root Cause:
Inherited rights Filter [IRF] for Files and Directory are not getting restored from NCP to NCP / NSS volumes because while backing up the NCP data SMS was sending improper request to NCP and NCP also was sending incorrect IRFs to SMS.
