nfsv4 id mapping is based on username not uid so you could use ganesha nfs to share the files. On 5 October 2017 at 04:42, Frizz wrote: > I have a setup with multiple hosts, each of them are administered > separately. So there are no unified uid/gid for the users. >

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

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

2017-10-05 Thread 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.
