Hello As far as I understand, a glusterfs server fully trusts the clients regarding uid/gid. It behaves just like NFS with -maproot=root. It would beinteresting to have the ability to limit the trust. For instance, one could say that 192.0.2/24 can only perform file operations with calling user uid range within 1000-2000. I am ready to contribute a xlator for that. Is that a desirable feature? Are there some problems in the proposed scheme? I am not sure of how it could behave with auto healing replicas. I guess that means that a limited client can only heal a subset of the filesystem. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus manu@xxxxxxxxxx
