Hi,
I'm running a very simple gluster server, as a NFSv4 replacement. I
documented this here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg40298.html
User home folders are served over this file server.
This worked fine in Fedora 15, but I am experiencing some odd
permissions problems with Adobe Acrobat after upgrading the server to
Fedora 16. I've seen it with some other apps too, but it is easiest to
reproduce with AdobeReader_enu-9.4.6-1.i486.
I see someone else reported permissions problems here:
http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-December/009260.html
If I launch acroread, it complains:
"Acroread was unable to create the directory .adobe in your home
directory. There may be a permission problem with the parent directory."
However, .adobe IS successfully created (with some subfolders in it).
The full error transcript is below, showing how I remove any existing
.adobe folder, run acroread, get errors, and then prove that .adobe does
exist.
I have seen this on some kde apps too, but native gnome/gtk apps seem to
work just fine. Not sure what that suggests.
(I realize that it is bad form to note issues with a closed-source
program like acrobat, but I have to support it on my system because
poppler's form-handling just doesn't work. Also, I think the issue
reflects some real bugs in gluster.)
Anyway, on the server I have:
[root@server2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gluster
glusterfs-rdma-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686
glusterfs-fuse-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686
glusterfs-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686
glusterfs-server-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686
On the client:
[mjc@xena ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gluster
glusterfs-fuse-3.2.5-5.fc16.x86_64
glusterfs-3.2.5-5.fc16.x86_64
Here is the full error sequence:
[mjc@xena ~]$ rm -rf .adobe
[mjc@xena ~]$ acroread

module_path: "clearlooks",

[mjc@xena ~]$ ll /fileserver/home/

Any suggestions?
This happens for all users served from the fileserver. Users with local
home folders do not have this issue.
