Hi All,

Does Azure File Share has SMB3.11 unix extensions, if not is it planned for future.

While mounting Azure File Share on unix-based system only unix based permission owner group and others are working. If user is added in ACL from windows it does not work.

For supporting POSIX permission set via Windows Active Directory to be available and work on Unix, SMB3.11 unix extensions would be needed.

Thanks

    @Mohit Sajwan Thank you for your time and patience!
    Here’s a guide for Linux Kerberos using Azure Files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-identity-auth-linux-kerberos-enable

    The use of “idsfromsid,modefromsid” unfortunately not enabled on Azure Files using Kerberos yet.

     You should be able to use it with mounting of file shares using storage account keys though (NTLMv2).

    However, you’ll need to ensure that you have the same UID/GID on all your Linux systems.

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
