Supporting Subshares and their ACLs

Windows filers can share multiple directories in the same tree, and can apply a

different share-level Access Control List (ACL) to each of them. Consider the

following three shares on the fs4 filer:

A client who connects to the “prescriptions” share has the access rights defined in

ACL1, whereas the same client uses ACL3 if he or she connects to the “Y2005”

subshare. ACL1 may restrict the client to read-only access, while ACL3 gives the

gives the client full control.

By default, all managed-volume access comes through the top-level share at the

back-end filer (“prescriptions” in this example). The volume’s CIFS clients would

therefore always have the permissions defined by ACL1, even if they connected

through the front-end equivalent of the filer’s Y2005 subshare:
