I just had it pointed out to me that we are experiencing situations where a process that has group write permissions on a file is failing for not actually having write permissions. I broke it down to the most simple of tests: userA creates file 'test' in /mnt/gluster/ userA sets group ownership to groupA on /mnt/gluster/test userA sets mode to 664 on /mnt/gluster/test userA tries to edit /mnt/gluster/test and succeeds root ensures that userB is in groupA userB tries to edit /mnt/gluster/test and FAILS Anyone else ever seen something like this? We're on 3.1.2 in a RHEL 5 environment. -greg
