.SH NAME
lctl-nodemap_add_offset \- define ID mapping offset for a nodemap
.SH SYNOPSIS
.SY "lctl nodemap_add_offset"
or
.SY "lctl nodemap add_offset"
.BI --name " NAME"
.BI --offset " OFFSET"
.BI --limit " FSID_COUNT"
.YS
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B nodemap_add_offset
adds an identity mapping offset to a nodemap for the UID, GID and PROJID types.
This command allows admins to create offset ranges for client systems to avoid
overlapping assignments in multi-tenant systems. The
.I FSID_COUNT
is used to specify the number of IDs mapped by the range, starting with the
.BR root (0)
user/group/project ID and extending through
.IR FSID_COUNT-1 "."
.PP
An offset range cannot overlap into another's offset range.
.PP
A nodemap can only have one offset defined. To modify the offset already
defined, just assign a new value.
Any existing files will
.B not
automatically be remapped to the new
.I OFFSET
range. IDs must be manually changed on all files for that nodemap with
.BR chown (1)
and
.BR lfs-project (1)
on a trusted client that has access to the unmapped, canonical file system IDs.
So modifying a nodemap offset should be avoided if possible.
.PP
Once an offset is set on a nodemap, please make sure the explicit mappings are
defined so that they do not escape the offset range. This means an explicit
mapping should not map a client id to a file system id greater than
.IR FSID_COUNT-1 "."
Similarly, the
.BR squash_uid ", " squash_gid " and " squash_projid
values should not be set to a value greater than
.IR FSID_COUNT-1 "."
Otherwise this would produce file system IDs outside of the offset range.
Finally, the offset limit
.I FSID_COUNT
should be defined so that the
.B nobody
user (65534) is included in the offset range.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI --name " NAME"
The name of the nodemap that the offset will be applied to.
.TP
.BI --offset " OFFSET"
The given start value for the offset.
.TP
.BI --limit " FSID_COUNT"
The number of IDs in the offset range.
.SH EXAMPLES
Map the client UID, GID, and PROJID values from the range 0-99999 to the
filesystem UID, GID, and PROJID values to the range 100000-199999:
.RS
.EX
.B # lctl nodemap_add_offset --name remotesite --offset 100000 --limit 100000
.EE
.RE
.PP
This map the "-2" user ID used by some systems for the
.B nobody
user to the user ID 65534, which will then be offset by OFFSET to a final UID of
165534 in this example:
.RS
.EX
.B # lctl nodemap_add_idmap --name remotesite --idtype uid --idmap 4294967294:65534
.EE
.RE
