From 15b7a1b86d663ef40108b1ba322973e32d5b62d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 01:00:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] knfsd: fix setattr-on-symlink error return This is a somewhat cosmetic fix to keep the SpecFS validation test from complaining. SpecFS want's to try chmod on symlinks, and ext3 and reiser (at least) return ENOTSUPP. Probably both sides are being silly, but it is easiest to simply make it a non-issue and filter out chmod requests on symlinks at the nfsd level. Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch Signed-off-by: J.
