strange owners issue? ownership reset by the other gluster node

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Did you do the chown operation to the mounted gluster filesystem, or
to the exported by gluster filesystem on one of your storage bricks?

What I mean is, is /shared/www what is exported in your
glusterfsd.vol, or did you do mount -t glusterfs volfile /shared/www ?
