Directory ownerships

[Magnus Lindström]

Hi,

I've been using the 20000204 snapshot for a long time. A few days ago,
2000-07-14, I grabbed more recent code from CVS. Now, when creating files
and directories, gids no longer become what I expect.

I saw in the changelog that xfs/linux/xfs_inodeops.c was modified to set
the gid for xfs_create, xfs_symlink and xfs_mkdir operations. The gid of
a newly created file or directory seems to always be root, not my default
group nor the gid of the parent directory. Is this the correct behaviour?

Running RedHat 6.1, lk 2.2.12 on an i686-system. The AFS-server is from
Transarc.
