Hi, We are using gluster on two servers to have a high availability file server solution. It works great but we have a weird permissions problem happening that I hope someone has solved before! Every now and then the mountpoint (lets say /mnt/data) goes from this: mnt]# ls -la drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 22 15:05 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 20 15:48 .. drw-r-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 22 11:28 data to this: mnt]# ls -la drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 22 15:05 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 20 15:48 .. drw-rw-r-- 5 root root 4096 Jul 22 11:28 data The gluster log files don't show any errors coinciding with when this takes place. I've forced particular permissions in fstab (having initially thought it was a mount/remount issue to no avail): /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/data glusterfs mode=755 0 0 Having the execute permission removed on this directory (as you can imagine) really messes up listing the contents of the directory by any user other than root... Any suggestions? Cheers, Mike
