Do not place user files in the top-level directory of an MTree

The issue with placing files in the top level is a permissions issue.  In support we spend a lot of time resetting the permissions for files in the top level.  That is why we suggest that you create the mtree and then setup a directory structure.  When you do this it allows you to be able to set groups and users and the permissions work with out issues. 

hi Repl-Man

Thank you for the reply ...I understand that creating file on top level of Mtree is not smart way ... would this be relevant to

version ? Not to put user file in top level of Mtree is not a New thing in DDOS 6.0? This is kind of gentleman`s agreement kind of thing ?

thanks !

This is best practice to not do this.  If you don't set a folder structure just under the root of the mtree you cant set permissions properly.

Thanks you ReplーMan!

I `ve got it !

So you would not say this is supposed to be in the Doc in the first place... It is about time start stating from 6.1 right ?

BTW ,,,If User already create user file in top directory ,, This need to be corrected ?

Thanks !

Yes it should be in the documentation.  I know we have KB's that cover it.  I will go back an look at our doc's and request it be updated.
