hello folks! we recently upgraded our servers from RHEL 5.3 to 5.4. unfortunately, since then we've noticed the following issue involving MacFUSE:
some volumes mounted via MacFUSE SSHFS are no longer readable or writable from the MacOS client after being mounted. this is because the uid and gid are no longer being translated appropriately: lirael:~ shuff$ ls -l /Volumes/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x@ 1 shuff shuff 16384 Sep 10 13:42 HMDC Home drwxr-s--x 1 2663 1025 4096 Feb 25 2008 HMDC www.hmdc Site lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Aug 26 09:00 Macintosh HD -> / in the listing pasted above, "HMDC Home" is a MacFUSE SSHFS mountpoint created via Macfusion that does not display this issue; as you can see, when it was created, the uid and gid were translated appropriately. "HMMDC www.hmdc Site" is another MacFUSE SSHFS mountpoint created via Macfusion which does display this issue. the uid and gid should be translated to "shuff:shuff", but they are not; "2663:1025" are the uid and gid assigned to the destination folder on the server side, and since no such uid and gid exist on the MacOS client, the SSHFS volume is unreadable. we observed this issue both with the current stable release of SSHFS (2.0.3.2) and with the 2.1.5 beta. our testing so far indicates that the issue occurs only when the username on the client side is NOT the same as the username of the directory owner on the server side; when i mount a remote directory owned by username "shuff" (even though the uid is different between client and server), uid and gid are mapped appropriately. i'd be happy to provide any additional information i can that might help resolve this issue; this issue makes MacFUSE significantly less useful to our user community than it had been previously. thanks, Steve Huff Harvard-MIT Data Center --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
