ZFS ACL breakdown

 Here is the breakdown of your rwxpDdaARWcCos string. This is essentially "Full Control" in the NFSv4/ZFS world.

The "Big Three" (Standard Unix)

r (read_data): Ability to read the contents of a file.

w (write_data): Ability to modify an existing file's contents.

x (execute): Ability to run a file as a program or search/enter a directory.

The "Management" Bits (The "pDd" in your string)

p (append_data): Ability to add data to the end of a file or create subdirectories.

D (delete_child): (Directory only) Ability to delete files or folders inside this directory.

d (delete): Ability to delete the file or folder itself.

The "Metadata" Bits (The "aARW" in your string)

a (read_attributes): Ability to see basic stat(2) info (size, timestamps).

A (write_attributes): Ability to change timestamps (essential for the touch command).

R (read_xattr): Ability to read extended attributes (used heavily by macOS for metadata).

W (write_xattr): Ability to write extended attributes (used for macOS "Tags" and "Colors").

The "Security" Bits (The "cCos" in your string)

c (read_acl): Ability to view the ACL of the file (required for getfacl).

C (write_acl): Ability to change the ACL (allows a user to manage their own permissions).

o (write_owner): Ability to change the owner of the file.

s (synchronize): A technical bit used by the OS for atomic file operations (highly recommended for SMB shares).

Fixing DNS Resolution problems with Linux Mint 19

Fixing DNS Resolution problems with Linux Mint 19 Linux Mint 19 has an issue (at least on the machines I've installed it on) where resolv.conf has its nameserver entry pointing to 127.0.0.53. That works fine except for resolving local subnet names (in my case 196.168.1.x). The following fixes the symptoms, though I still don't know why 127.0.0.53 is being used instead of the assignment from DHCP. Run in root console, or sudo: # apt install resolvconf # nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail nameserver 192.168.1.1 # resolvconf -u This will tag the local nameserver entry onto the end of resolv.conf and persists through resets.
