Shared disk with ACL, not working for copied files

[jazzgossen]

I have two users on my system, and a shared drive (mounted at /mnt/shared) that should be read-writable for all users in the "locals" group. I have set up ACL so that everything works as it should for newly created files.

However, when I copy a file from my home directory, with user/group myself/myself and permissions rw-r--r--, the copy in the shared directory is still not group writable, although it does get assigned the "locals" group.

How can I change this behaviour, so that also copied files get rw-rw-r-- permissions, regardless of their original permissions?

I don't think that's possible.

But, you can use bindfs to (re)mount the partition/directory with different ownership and permissions. The ownership and permissions will apply to all files from the directory.

e.g.:

sudo bindfs -o perms=0700,mirror-only=@locals /media/shared /media/shared
