Hi All, Im having an issue with symbolic links permissions with an ocfs2 parition
Basically standard symbolic links lose the owner/group information: ie say i have two nodes node1, node2. Both have an ocfs2 partition mounted at /opt I create a symlink on node1: node1:# ln -s /opt/file /opt/link node1:# ls -lah link lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-04-15 15:35 link -> /opt/file I check node2: node2:# ls -lah link lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-04-15 15:35 link -> /opt/file All looks good if i change the owner of the link using chmod: node1:# chown -h user1 /opt/link node1:# ls -lah link # ls -lah link lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 root 9 2008-04-15 15:35 link -> /opt/file and on node2: node2:# ls -lah link # ls -lah link lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 root 9 2008-04-15 15:35 link -> /opt/file So now i unmount the ocfs parition on node1, then remount it and check the file again: node1# umount /opt node1# mount /opt node1# ls -lah /opt/link lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-04-15 15:35 /opt/link -> /opt/file Note i have also tested creating the symbolic link as a different user rather than chowning the symlink directly, the results are the same, in which it loses the owner information after remount Note that the owner has changed back to root? Note that standard files do not have this issue Im relatively new to ocfs, so im not sure what other info is needed, Im running debian 4.0 with 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:11:31 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux and using ocfs-tools 1.2.1-1.3 Cheers Brendan Beveridge _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
