Enabling or disabling NFSv4 ACLs

To enable or disable NFSv4 ACLs, you can modify the -v4.0-acl and -v4.1-acl options. These options are disabled by default.

About this task

The -v4.0-acl or -v4.1-acl option controls the setting and viewing of NFSv4 ACLs; it does not control enforcement of these ACLs for access checking.

Perform one of the following actions:
If you want to...Then...
Enable NFSv4.0 ACLsEnter the following command: vserver nfs modify -vserver vserver_name -v4.0-acl enabled
Disable NFSv4.0 ACLsEnter the following command: vserver nfs modify -vserver vserver_name -v4.0-acl disabled
Enable NFSv4.1 ACLsEnter the following command: vserver nfs modify -vserver vserver_name -v4.1-acl enabled
Disable NFSv4.1 ACLsEnter the following command: vserver nfs modify -vserver vserver_name -v4.1-acl disabled
  • Modifying the maximum ACE limit for NFSv4 ACLs
    You can modify the maximum number of allowed ACEs for each NFSv4 ACL by modifying the parameter -v4-acl-max-aces . By default, the limit is set to 400 ACEs for each ACL. Increasing this limit can help ensure successful migration of data with ACLs containing over 400 ACEs to storage systems running ONTAP.
