Strange UID and GID Numbers on Dell NAS System Files
Work aro un d It is recommended that you use the NFS protocol interfaces to
access the PowerVault NX3500 FluidFS systems from Linux/UNIX
clients. To workaround this issue:
1
Ensure that your admin creates NFS exports to same locations
that you use to access using CIFS and connect to them using
mount command from Linux/UNIX clients.
2
Use NFS based interfaces to access the PowerVault NX3500. For
example, from the NAGIOS Linux management system, use the

/check_disk

command instead of the

/check_disk_smb

command.
Description New files created from ubuntu 7.x clients get the UID and GID of
4294967294 (nfsnone).
Cause By default, ubuntu 7.x nfs clients do not specify rpc credentials on
their nfs calls. As a result, files created from these clients, by any
user, are owned by 4294967294 (nfsnone) UID and GID.
Work aro un d To force UNIX credentials on nfs calls, add the sec=sys option to
the PowerVault NX3500 mounts in the ubuntu fstab file.
