Trusted Solaris Attribute Precedence Rules

A file or directory's attributes take precedence over the attributes on the containing file system. Attributes specified at mount-time take precedence over filesystem attributes already in effect for a file system. Any attributes not obtainable at mount time or from the file system are assigned from the defaults.

The following figure illustrates the precedence rules.
