POSIX ACL
Version 1.2 supports POSIX ACL. For detailed rules, please refer to:
Usage
Currently, once ACL is enabled, it cannot be disabled. Therefore, the --enable-acl flag is associated with the volume.
Enable ACL for new volumes
juicefs format sqlite3://myjfs.db myjfs --enable-acl
Enable ACl for existing volumes
- Upgrade all old client to v1.2 and remount it.
- Use the following command with v1.2 client to change the volume configuration.
juicefs config sqlite3://myjfs.db --enable-acl
Compatibility
- New client versions are compatible with old volume versions.
- Old client versions are compatible with new volume versions (without ACL enabled).
Note
If ACL is enabled, it is recommended that all clients to be upgraded. If an old client mounts a new volume (without ACL enabled), and ACL is subsequently enabled on the volume, operations by the old client may impact the correctness of ACL.
Others
- ACL permission checks are supported only in Linux kernel 4.9 and higher versions. You can refer to this documentation for more details.
- Enabling ACL increases the minimum client version requirement to v1.2.
- Enabling ACL may have additional performance implications. For scenarios with infrequent ACL changes, the impact is minimal with memory cache optimization.
