Hi all, I'm using glusterfs in comination with aufs. With aufs I mount a read-only directory from the local harddisk and a writable directory from the glusterfs together. It works fine, so far. The only problem occurs if I change a file insides a directory of the read-only directory. Aufs normal behavior is to create the directory structure for the changed file in the writable directory and keeps the uid and gid. If I use glusterfs the directories are created with root as user and group, which leads to many "permission denied"'s. :-) I'm not sure if i make my point , to think about it, is easier than describing. I'm not sure if it is a glusterfs problem or an aufs problem. Best regards Tobias Wilken
