Why is it not possible to delete files after setting NFS4 ACLs?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • After setting 'RX' ACE permissions on files using nfs4_acl, I'm not able to delete the files.
  • ACLs have been set using the following command:
nfs4_setfacl -a A:g:<group_name>@<domain>:RX test
  • Once set, any member of the group is not able to delete the file:
rm newfile
rm: cannot remove `newfile': Permission denied

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
