I'm resend this query because the older subject did not correspond to the topic. i'm trying to use the mount point "/var/lib/cyrus-clustered" in order to make cyrus-imap in cluster mode. Everything works except permissions problems What i means... here it is the cyrus-imap events in the mail.log: Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/cyrus/db' failed: Permission denied Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: init() on berkeley Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: checkpointing cyrus databases Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: archive /var/lib/cyrus-clustered/db: cyrusdb error Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR db4: txn_checkpoint interface requires an environment configured for the transaction subsystem Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: couldn't checkpoint: Invalid argument Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: sync /var/lib/cyrus-clustered/db: cyrusdb error Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR db4: DB_ENV->log_archive interface requires an environment configured for the logging subsystem Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: error listing log files: Invalid argument Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: DBERROR: archive /var/lib/cyrus-clustered/db: cyrusdb error Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: archiving database file: /var/lib/cyrus-clustered/mailboxes.db Dec 27 16:40:05 ub-cluster2 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[9145]: error opening /var/lib/cyrus-clustered/mailboxes.db for reading ------------------------------------------------------------------ it seems there is ownership permissions problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------ cyrus-imap run has cyrus:mail for user and group. when doing an ls -la on the mounted path : drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrus mail 4096 2009-12-27 17:19 . drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrus mail 4096 2009-12-27 17:19 .. -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 144 2009-12-27 12:01 annotations.db -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 144 2009-11-25 17:36 annotations.db~ drwxr-x--- 13 bind mail 4096 2009-11-25 17:36 cyrus drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-27 12:01 db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 2009-12-27 16:57 db.backup1 drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-27 16:29 db.backup2 -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 8192 2009-12-27 04:05 deliver.db -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 8192 2009-11-25 17:36 deliver.db~ drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:30 log -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 8744 2009-12-27 12:01 mailboxes.db -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 1640 2009-11-25 17:36 mailboxes.db~ -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 3676 2009-11-25 17:36 mailboxes.db.old~ -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 373 2009-11-25 17:36 mailboxlist.txt~ drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:30 msg drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 12288 2009-12-27 15:29 proc drwxr-x--- 28 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:28 quota drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:30 rpm drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-11-26 08:22 socket drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:30 srvtab drwxr-x--- 2 bind mail 4096 2009-11-25 17:36 sync -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 0 2009-12-27 03:13 titi -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 8192 2009-12-27 04:05 tls_sessions.db -rwxr-x--- 1 bind mail 8192 2009-11-25 17:36 tls_sessions.db~ drwxr-x--- 28 bind mail 4096 2009-12-23 19:28 user you can see that files and folder are owned by bind:mail instead cyrus:mail mount points are : /etc/artica-cluster/dispatcher-2.vol on /var/spool/cyrus/mail-clustered type fuse.glusterfs (rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072) /etc/artica-cluster/dispatcher-1.vol on /var/lib/cyrus-clustered type fuse.glusterfs (rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=13107 how to force the client to mount has a specific user in order to not corrupt the permissions settings ?
