Using DFS style ACLs with GPFS

GPFS has extended ACL capabilities when exporting via DFS. These capabilities include administering ACLs via DFS ACL commands, such as acl_edit, and supporting extended DFS style ACLs that include the addition of foreign cell entries and additional permissions.

You may display DFS style ACLs via GPFS commands such as mmgetacl, however no capability for setting DFS style ACLs is present in GPFS commands such as mmputacl. You should use DFS ACL commands when administering DFS ACLs and GPFS ACL commands when administering GPFS ACLs.
