Description
Specification
The current README.md states:
User, Group and Other permissions: In EFS User, Group and Other permissions are strictly confined to their permission class. For example, a User in EFS does not have the permissions that a Group or Other has while in Node FS a User also has permissions that Group and Other have.
Additional comments
@scottmmorris: when I was testing the permissions in efs, if a user didn't have write permissions a write wouldnt work in any case
but I think for some of the pjdfs tests if this happened but the group or other had write permissions, even if the user didnt have the permissions it was supposed to work
The pjdfs tests are doing it correctly. Permissions are "hierarchical", meaning one should be checking user, group and other permissions.
