To confirm the "Permission Denied" problem you are facing is indeed BUG 2296 following conditions should be met: 1) mount is fuse mount. 2) access-control translator should be present on top of the posix translator in the brick volfile. you can see the reports of the following bugs for "Permission Denied on Fuse mount": http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2304 http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2312 http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2296 chown -R user:primary-group is a workaround that should fix the problem for now.

This problem always occurs. I simply create a folder called test and perform an rm -rf on this folder. I get the error message rm: cannot remove directory `test/': No such file or directory but the folder vanishes anyway. About the first problem again: When you say, non-primary group membership is treated as "others", this can't explain, as far as I understand, why sometimes writing into the very same directoy works and sometimes it fails. By the way: where can I see the bug reports? Issuing a chown -R <user>:<primary_group> should resolve these issues, shouldn't it? Thanks for your help, Daniel On 01/28/2011 09:32 AM, Pranith Kumar.
