Fwd: Re: Sharing a mail folder between Linux and FreeBSD

[Ralf Mardorf]

I was surpriesed, when Evolution from Linux had no permissions anymore to  
access the mail folder, after
drwxrwx--- rocketmouse  wheel was stable for FreeBSD

I wasn't aware, that even between Linux only, the folders for mount points  
share the same permissions, once the partition is mounted, since my Linux  
users usually share the same uid. I tested it some minutes ago.

However, I add a group freebsd (1001) to a Linux and chown/chmod most of  
the pass without -R option and for the mail directory I used the -R  
option, now everything _should_ work ...

$ ls -hAl /mnt
drwxrwx---  21 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Oct 28 19:11 archlinux

but at the end of the pass I noticed this:

$ ls -hAl /mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution/mail
total 28
drwxrwx---   3 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:37  
1323712251.1853.2 at archlinux
drwxrwx---   3 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:13 1353406324.3645.4 at q
drwxrwx---   3 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:13 1353606434.360.4 at q
drwx------   2 1000  1000          4.0k Jan 24 02:37  
1358783158.2173.1 at precise
drwxrwx---  17 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:37 local
drwxrwx---   4 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:10 trash
drwxrwx---   2 1000  rocketmouse   4.0k Jan 24 02:37 vfolder

I suspect I write-accessed /1358783158.2173.1 at precise with a Linux that  
has no group 1001?

I'll add a group or user 1001 to all Linux and I'll add a user or group  
1000 to FreeBSD.

If I've done that, could I expect still any issues?
