user and group ?

[jgranduel]

Hi,

it seems user and group don't return anything. Shouldn't they display the owner and group_owner?
Thanks

@jgranduel I'm wondering if this is an OS or filesystem issue. On my Linux/ext4 system, user and group display correctly.

[jgranduel]

Thank you for your reply. It might be the issue as it works on WSL Ubuntu but not with Linux/zfs. Any workaround?

[jhspetersson]

Thanks for reporting this! I had no chance to test user and others against ZFS partition, but guess there are two possibilities:

• uid for user name substitution fails due to some kind of unsupported auth mechanism on your system (or due to lacking of specific permissions)
• file uids are disjoint from current user base

I'll try to set up a ZFS, and reproduce the issue.

Just a quick comment. I cannot display user when I'm not the owner of the folder (even as root), but it works with my files. OS/filesystem might have been misleading? HTH.

I've only used ZFS as part of a homework assignment long ago, but I'm wondering if some incantation of zfs allow .. might provide the more "expected behavior".

[jgranduel]

I don't know zfs enough I'm afraid. Why do ls -ld .. or stat -c "%U" .. work, but not fselect? what is different in your approach? Shouldn't it work as root?

group seems to be causing a parse(?) error.

user seems to work fine.

@rickhg12hs CHEERS! omg, I fixed that in master, group field was parsed incorrectly as part of group by expression
