Please fix the file on all backend volumes Apparently the issue is the root of the storage pool, which in my case on the backend storage servers is this path: /export/read-only - permissions are: drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Dec 28 12:09 /export/read-only/ Installation is GlusterFS 3.1.1 on servers and clients, servers running CentOS 5.5, clients running CentOS 5.2. The volume info header is below: Volume Name: pfs-ro1 Type: Distributed-Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 10 x 2 = 20 Transport-type: tcp Any ideas? I don't see a permission issue on the directory or it's subs themselves.
