Hello,
I am trying to add a small test in a script to check if a directory is
managed by nfs4_setfacl or not. The system I work with use sometimes
nfs4_setfacl and sometimes setfacl. I wanted to try a quiet
`nfs4_getfacl .` to check it. But when I do
> if nfs4_getfacl . >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "yep nfs4"; else
echo "no"; fi
I obtain
yep nfs4
Without the 2>&1, I have
> if nfs4_getfacl . >/dev/null; then echo "yep nfs4"; else echo
"no"; fi
Operation to request attribute not supported: .
yep nfs4
When I try to grep it, it does not work
> nfs4_getfacl . >/dev/null | grep -q "not supported"
Operation to request attribute not supported: .
The return code is always zero
> nfs4_getfacl . ; echo $?
Operation to request attribute not supported: .
0
I want it to be quiet to avoid showing something in the terminal. I am
doing a script to easily set ACLs for none bash power user and I do not
want to scare them with error message.
Am I missing something about the return code? Would it be possible to
add a --test or --check option to test if nfs4-acl are actually used in
the directory?
I can do test if you want. Do you know which repo has the latest source
code if I want to try something myself?
Best regards,
Alan
