# vfs\_linux\_xfs\_sgid(8)

Workaround XFS sgid bit not inherited

## NAME

vfs\_linux\_xfs\_sgid - Workaround XFS sgid bit not inherited

## SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = linux\_xfs\_sgid

## DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the [**samba**(7)](/samba/7.md) suite.

vfs\_linux\_xfs\_sgid is a VFS module to work around an old Linux XFS bug fixed in 3.11: the SGID bit is not inherited during mkdir when a default ACL is set (https://web.archive.org/web/20160320180937/http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show\_bug.cgi?id=280 fixed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=42c49d7f249c2487f36d3314753d5d8ebcee8249). The vfs\_linux\_xfs\_sgid VFS module will work around this bug by manually setting the SGID bit after a mkdir if the parent directory had the SGID bit set.

This module is stackable.

## EXAMPLES

Add linux\_xfs\_sgid functionality for \[share\]:

```
        [share]
	vfs objects = linux_xfs_sgid
```
