[comp.protocols.appletalk] CAP 5.0 resetting file protections

resnick@cogsci.uiuc.edu (Pete Resnick) (04/29/91)

Every so often, I crash my Mac. If I have an Aufs volume mounted, all
of the protections get reset.

Setup: CAP 5.0 on a Sun Sparc, v.4.1.1, Gatorbox, Aufs running.

Here's the problem: I have 2 disks for mounting on my system, one
for myself and one for public use. Each is a separate directory
in my home directory on the Sparc, one called MacFiles, the other
called PublicMacFiles. There is a .resource and .finderinfo in my
home directory as well as in each of the other directories. I have
a file called .afpvols and one called .pubafpvols in my home
directory:

.afpvols:
/home/CS/morgan/MacFiles:Pete's Disk

.pubafpvols:
/home/CS/morgan/resnick/PublicMacFiles:CogSci Disk

Here is the line from start-cap-servers:

/usr/local/lib/cap/aufs -G nobody \
			-l /usr/local/lib/cap/aufslog \
			-n "CogSci/AI Aufs" \
                        -V /home/CS/morgan/resnick/.pubafpvols

I own all of the files, and the permissions are set 700 for everything
in MacFiles and 755 for everything in PublicMacFiles.

If my Mac crashes while I have both disks mounted, I end up with all of
the files in PublicMacFiles being set to 700 (hence, Owner see folders,
see files, and make changes, but no other permissions). This is very
bad. Is this a bug that was fixed in 6.0 (which I haven't had time to
deal with yet), or is there another solution I am missing?
