Hi, This test is done under ext3 file system [root at bass1 ~]# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) [root at bass1 ~]# ll -d a drwxr-sr-x 2 root allusers 4096 Aug 25 21:44 a [root at bass1 ~]# touch a/b [root at bass1 ~]# ll a/b -rw-r--r-- 1 root allusers 0 Aug 25 21:44 a/b This test is done under glusterfs file system [root at bass1 home]# ll -d a drwxr-sr-x 2 root allusers 6 Aug 25 21:45 a [root at bass1 home]# touch a/b [root at bass1 home]# ll a/b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 21:46 a/b As we see here, the file b should belong to group allusers. Doesn't gluster support this feature? which could make group sharing easy. I would rather I did something wrong, please tell me how to fix this problem.
