Bug ID: 62038
Summary: NFS servers doesn't allow access for some tool
maintainers to their tool directories
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: tools
Assignee: m...@uberbox.org
Reporter: t...@tim-landscheidt.de

For users fsainsbu and tahir, the NFS server only recognize that they are
entitled to write in the directories of their tools when they use newgrp to set
the tool group as their primary group:
| scfc@tools-login:~$ sudo sudo -iu fsainsbu
| Did you know that there is a shared storage for everyone at /shared
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ touch /data/project/tasmania/test
| touch: cannot touch `/data/project/tasmania/test': Permission denied
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ newgrp local-tasmania
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ touch /data/project/tasmania/test
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$
Permissions are correct:
| scfc@tools-login:~$ getent group local-tasmania
| local-tasmania:*:51744:fsainsbu
| scfc@tools-login:~$ ls -dl /data/project/tasmania
| drwxrwsr-x 4 local-tasmania local-tasmania 90 Feb 28 06:02
/data/project/tasmania
| scfc@tools-login:~$
Non-NFS works:
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ # Without newgrp.
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ ls -dl /tmp/tasmania-test /data/project/tasmania
| drwxrwsr-x 4 local-tasmania local-tasmania 90 Feb 28 06:02
/data/project/tasmania
| drwxrwsr-x 1 local-tasmania local-tasmania 0 Feb 28 06:20 /tmp/tasmania-test
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ touch /tmp/tasmania-test/test
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$
It works also at least for me (scfc) writing to ~local-wikilint.
Googling suggests that the most common cause for secondary groups being ignored
seems to be that NFS limits them to 16 and the solution is to add
"--manage-gids" to the server, but:
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$ groups
| wikidev project-bastion project-tools local-tasmania
| fsainsbu@tools-login:~$
Coren, what's the setting of the NFS server at the moment?
