Hi, So this is a bit odd case. I have created 2 servers nodes (running CentOS 7.3) >From Client machine (CentOS 7.2) I mount to one of the nodes using: [root@CentOS7286-64 mnt]# mount -t nfs L137B-GlusterFS-Node1.L137B-root.com:/volume1 /mnt/glustervianfs/ When i created (touch) a file over the NFS: >From Client Machine: [revivo@CentOS7286-64 glustervianfs]$ touch nfs3file [revivo@CentOS7286-64 glustervianfs]$ id revivo uid=2021(revivo) gid=2020(maccabi) groups=2020(maccabi),10(wheel) On Server machine: I monitor the file operations at VFS kernel level. I get UID/GID of root (0), this is maybe anonid or something like that. When i go to the glutser volume itself and ls -la,i do see the correct uid/gid: [root@L137B-GlusterFS-Node1 volume1]# ls -lia total 24 11 drwxrwxrwx. 3 revivo maccabi 4096 Aug 10 12:13 . 2 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Aug 9 14:32 .. 12 drw-------. 16 root root 4096 Aug 10 12:13 .glusterfs 31 -rw-r--r--. 2 revivo maccabi 0 Aug 10 12:13 nfs3file Why on the VFS layer i get uid/gid - 0/0 ? Does gluster delegate the operations to root inorder to perform them ? _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
