Hello there,

Stumbled on to this when I discovered permissions issues on directories created from a script.  The -p option ignores default ACLs set on the parent directory.

Note that the mkdir -p command does not seem to give the g+w attribute to new directories. Even the bar directory is missing it. 

address@hidden mirror_crop]# mkdir -p foo/bar

address@hidden mirror_crop]# mkdir foobar

address@hidden ll -d foobar

drwxrws---+ 2 root apache 4096 May  8 09:37 foobar

address@hidden ll -d foo

drwxr-s---+ 3 root apache 4096 May  8 09:36 foo

address@hidden getfacl foo

# file: foo

# owner: root

# group: apache

# flags: -s-

user::rwx

group::r-x

other::---

default:user::rwx

default:group::rwx

default:other::---

address@hidden getfacl foobar

# file: foobar

# owner: root

# group: apache

# flags: -s-

user::rwx

group::rwx

other::---

default:user::rwx

default:group::rwx

default:other::---

And to show the default...

address@hidden virtualmirror]# getfacl mirror_crop/

# file: mirror_crop/

# owner: root

# group: apache

# flags: -s-

user::rwx

group::rwx

other::---

default:user::rwx

default:group::rwx

default:other::---

It appears that -p is actually using the umask where without -p it uses the defaults =)
