Re: [Gluster-users] Access from multiple hosts where users have different uid/gid

[Alastair Neil]

nfsv4 id mapping is based on username not uid so you could use ganesha nfs
to share the files.

Ouch!

I use a unified UID/GID process. I personally use FreeIPA. It can also be
done with just LDAP or (not recommended for security reasons) NIS+

Baring those, a well-disciplined manual process will work by copying
passwd, group, shadow and gshadow files around to all systems. Create new
users on a specific machine and then use a home-brewed script to push/sync
the files to all other machines.

[Gluster-users] Access from multiple hosts where users have different uid/gid

[Frizz]

I have a setup with multiple hosts, each of them are administered
separately. So there are no unified uid/gid for the users.

When mounting a GlusterFS volume, a file owned by user1 on host1 might
become owned by user2 on host2.

I was looking into POSIX ACL or bindfs, but that won't help me much.

What did other people do with this kind of problem?
