Hi, I'm running a very simple gluster server, as a NFSv4 replacement. I documented this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/users at lists.fedoraproject.org/msg40298.html User home folders are served over this file server. This worked fine in Fedora 15, but I am experiencing some odd permissions problems with Adobe Acrobat after upgrading the server to Fedora 16. I've seen it with some other apps too, but it is easiest to reproduce with AdobeReader_enu-9.4.6-1.i486. I see someone else reported permissions problems here: http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-December/009260.html If I launch acroread, it complains: "Acroread was unable to create the directory .adobe in your home directory. There may be a permission problem with the parent directory." However, .adobe IS successfully created (with some subfolders in it). The full error transcript is below, showing how I remove any existing .adobe folder, run acroread, get errors, and then prove that .adobe does exist. I have seen this on some kde apps too, but native gnome/gtk apps seem to work just fine. Not sure what that suggests. (I realize that it is bad form to note issues with a closed-source program like acrobat, but I have to support it on my system because poppler's form-handling just doesn't work. Also, I think the issue reflects some real bugs in gluster.) Anyway, on the server I have: [root at server2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gluster glusterfs-rdma-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686 glusterfs-fuse-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686 glusterfs-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686 glusterfs-server-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686 On the client: [mjc at xena ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gluster glusterfs-fuse-3.2.5-5.fc16.x86_64 glusterfs-3.2.5-5.fc16.x86_64 Here is the full error sequence: [mjc at xena ~]$ rm -rf .adobe [mjc at xena ~]$ acroread (acroread:23227): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Acroread was unable to create the directory .adobe in your home directory.

This happens for all users served from the fileserver. Users with local home folders do not have this issue. - Mike
