Re: set owner:group on root of volume

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for your reply. Below the answers to your 3 questions.

1) Rather unlikely as my application does not run as root. That's the point my application  runs as UID/GID 1000:1000 and the root of my GlusterFS volume needs to be owned by 1000 so that my application can write there.

2) Nothing in glustershd.log and there was not even a glfsheal-myvolume.log file until I ran "gluster volume heal myvolume info".

3) IIRC yes it does but I will have to test that again tomorrow as I now ran again manually a chown on the root of my volume through a fuse client.

Regards,
M.

This is an interesting problem. A few questions:

1. Is there any chance that one of your applications does a chown on the 
root?

2. Do you notice any logs related to metadata self-heal on "/" in the 
gluster logs?

3. Does the ownership of all bricks reset to custom uid/gid after every 
restart of the volume?

Thanks,
Vijay
