[Gluster-users] Permission Denied when copying from one gluster 3.1 volume to another 3.1 volume

[John Lao]

I can create files on both gluster volumes as the regular user.  The problem happens when I try to copy files from one volume to another volume as the regular user.

What works is if I copy data from one gluster volume to local disk, then copy the files from local disk to the other gluster volume.

There is only one regular user set up to access both volumes and the user is the owner of the directory on the servers in each cluster. Selinux is disabled on all machines.

it really sounds like a perms issue to me. If the root of the all the storage bricks aren't writable by said user, a write will fail.

Can you do a simple "touch file1234" on the gluster volume as the non-root user?

another thing to check, what is selinux set to? (getenforce)

Yes the perms are set correctly. I blew away the directory that root created so that is not an issue.

What's puzzling is I can create files in both volumes, but get permission denied when copying from one volume to another.

Are your perms set for the storage bricks? What about a subdirectory created as root from the gluster mount? Youll have to chmod that dir of course .

Hi,

I am running glusterfs 3.1 on 2 different volumes and mounted on the client as /mnt/gluster/vol1 and /mnt/gluster/vol2.  When I try to copy data from vol1 to vol2 as a regular user I get a permission denied error.  When I try to do the copy as root it succeeds.  But, as a non-root user I copy vol1 data to the local disk then copy that local disk to vol2 the copy succeeds.

So it seems like I cannot directly copy between volumes as a regular user.  Is this a bug?

I am running CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on both clusters.  Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

John
