Bug #2015
sgid on directories isn't working
0%
Description
There are a handful of directories in /srv/repo/main that don't have the sgid bit set, and a whole bunch of files that are :users instead of :repo (not all of which are in the directories without the bit set).
I'm not sure what's causing the sgid bit to be ignored in some cases.

/srv is mounted with nosuid, which inhibits parts of sgid. Turning that off in /etc/fstab and rebooting...

That doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Observation: When I create an SGID directory in my home directory, and create a subdir with in it, the subdir inherits the SGID bit. The same is not true when creating a subdir of an SGID directory in /srv.
Question: Why am I observing different behavior?
A log of a session demonstrating this behavior is attached. The [NNN] bit of my PS1 prompt is the exit status (in decimal) of the previous command.

i tried it on winston under /etc and the sguid bit is inherited as expected - the only obvious difference it the nodev mount flag - could the underlying virtual disk have such properties on it?

The difference wasn't nodev. It's bsdgroups!
sudo tune2fs -l /dev/vda4 |grep 'Default mount' Default mount options: bsdgroups user_xattr acl
