Hi glusterfs hackers, I am trying to write a simple xlator similar to the fixed-id one that comes with the source code. The fixed-id xlator passes all calls through to the underlying volume and then mangles the uid and gid of the stat structures on the way back to the client, so what you end up with when looking at a mount is a directory of files that appear to be owned by a fixed uid.gid, but really on the underlying volume, they are created as the original user, which can cause interesting permission issues. I would like to modify this behavior so that the files get created on the underlying volume with the fixed-id as well (even if just for the superuser). I can do this in the chown functions with something like this easy enough: struct fixed_id *id = (struct fixed_id *)this->private; if (id->fixed_uid_set) uid = id->fixed_uid; before the STACK_WIND, and it works when I chown a file on the mount, but how do I intercept the uid when a file is being created in the first place? I don't see any arguments to create() that are applicable. Does fuse just use the user from the calling process to do this? cheers, august
