Timestamp issue - Buffallo terastation pro TS-HTGL/R5

[nallgood]

I have a buffalo terastation pro TS-HTGL/R5 that is mostly working but it seems to have some issues with NFS. Currently using Firmware 1.33.

 

It seems that when I have a directory shared out via both CIFS/NFS , on the unix/nfs side for some reason as a normal user when I do an operation such as 'cp -p' which "copies while preserving the timestamp" it fails. The NAS appliance overwrites the timestamp with the current one. Mount options in /etc/vfstab are defaults , no speical options (even tried manual mounting)

 

I did notice however, when I am logged in as ROOT, that cp -p works as expected.. just NOT as any other user.

 

I also wanted to point out in all of our NFS shares, for the group / owner it only shows the GID/UID .. it does NOT show any user/group associated with this.. I don't fully grasp how this device handles GID/UID mapppings.

 

So any help / direction is appreciated .. this is just too bizarre!

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't have any workaround or advice to give as Unix is outside of my scope however, you could try to PM http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/937" target="_self">Colin137 and see if he has anything to say about it.
