Re: group write permissions not being respected

[Pat Haley <phaley@xxxxxxx>]

Using the gluster client rather than NFS seems to fix the problem

Hi Pranith,

You need to capture the file so that we can see the tcpdump in wireshark to inspect the uid/gid etc that are going out the wire.

hi Pat,
       I think the other thing we should probably look for would be to see the tcp dump of what uid/gid parameters are sent over network when this command is executed.

hi Pat,

      Are you seeing this issue only after migration or even before? May be we should look at the gid numbers on the disk and the ones that are coming from client for the given user to see if they match or not?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This issue was not being seen before the migration.  We have copied the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from the front-end machine (the client) to the data server, so they all match

Could you give stat output of the directory in question from both the brick and the nfs client

Hi,

Another piece of data.  There are 2 distinct volumes on the file server

1. a straight nfs partition
2. a gluster volume (served over nfs)
   

The straight nfs partition does respect the group write permissions, while the gluster volume does not.  Any suggestions on how to debug this or what additional information would be helpful would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi

We have just migrated our data to a new file server (more space, old server was showing its age). We have a volume for collaborative use, based on group membership.  In our new server, the group write permissions are not being respected (e.g.  the owner of a directory can still write to that directory but any other member of the associated group cannot, even though the directory clearly has group write permissions set).  This is occurring regardless of how many groups the user is a member of (i.e. users that are members of fewer then 16 groups are still affected).

the relevant fstab line from the server looks like
localhost:/data-volume /gdata    glusterfs       defaults 0 0

and for a client:
mseas-data2:/gdata       /gdata      nfs     defaults        0 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
