SubjectNFSv3 / VFS and group problems
Hi,

I've had the joy to debug a production system with a really crappy setup.

They have a user "fred" which belongs to ~5000 groups (say
group1-group5000).


So far so bad. Even worse, they have a nfs backend with lots of files
which are owned by users belonging to these groups.

Ok, now my problem is that "fred" can open a file which is

-rw-rw---- someone group300 foo

but a read on this file will fail with EIO

Since group300 is way beyond the 16 groups nfs supports shouldn't fred
actually get a EACCES back from the open call?

Problem happens with 2.6.13 (vanilla, not tainted) on both server and
client.


kind regards Philip
