You can control who has privileges to change directory and file ownership.
Considerations
The following behaviors apply to ownership changes:
- When a user without root privileges changes the owner of a file, the set-user-id and set-group-id bits are cleared.
- If a user without root privileges tries to change the owner of a file but the change causes the file’s recipient to exceed the quota, the attempt fails.
Steps
-
Access the storage system command line through the console or through a Telnet session.
- Do one of the following:
| If... |
Then... |
|---|
| You want to restrict the privilege of changing directory and file ownership to the root user |
Enter the following command: options wafl.root_only_chown on |
| You want to allow the privilege of changing directory and file ownership to all users |
Enter the following command: options wafl.root_only_chown off |
