Is it possible that your UID:GID do not match for said user on each server?

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
