I have added umask 002 to /etc/profile, but software like git and apache still sets files to 755 instead of 775. Is there a way to force umask 002 for all programs on a machine?

to upload and overwrite the same files. They have different usernames, but are all part of the

We have just ordered a new webserver with 120 Gb solid state disk and a SATA disk. I am trying to plan ahead what sort of filesystem to use.
This system will be running Linux, Apache/Tomcat to host java services. The main service is a system where people can upload reasonably large files (in the…

User A asks the system to read file foo and at the same time user B wants to save his or her data onto the same file. How is this situation handled on the filesystem level?

Half of my ZFS filesystems are hidden in ZFS-fuse. Here's my story:
So, I love ZFS. I used it for about six months on FreeBSD, but due to it crashing the kernel during heavy inter-filesystem IO load, I tried switching to Solaris 5.10.
