I have setup Sector/Sphere across two servers using 'sector-fuse' to mount the
file system.

When I copy a file to the fused directory it indicates it is saved, but the
filesize is displayed as 0 bytes using both 'ls' on the fused file system and
when using 'sector_ls', and the file contents are not accessible via the file
system or using 'sector_download'. Looking at the actual data store the file
is saved correctly - it reports the correct filesize and the contents appear
correct.

If I upload a file using 'sector_upload' it is saved correctly and the
filesize is reported correctly using both 'sector_ls' and 'ls'. I'm also able
to access the file via the file system and using 'sector_download'.

Is anyone able to offer any suggestions why 'sector-fuse' is not functioning
correctly when files are uploaded through the file system?

Many thanks for your help!

What version of sector yu are using - release, from trunk, or from stable
branch?

Sector version 2.6 build 04/05/2011 - stable version I believe... Running on
CentOS 5.7.

Thank you for your help!

I have found that shutting down and restarting the master/slave causes the
files to be indexed correctly - the 0 byte files then show the correct
filesizes through 'ls' and 'sector_ls'. I am able to open a test text file
using 'nano' but when I save the file it is not updated when re-opened, but
the file in the data store is updated correctly.

I also found the master log shows the following:

Rejected Req from system 0 X.X.X.X 48906 15605 -2000

What causes the -2000/E_SECURITY 'security check failed' error?

Please let me know if I can provide any further information to assist with
debugging!

This issue has now been resolved!

The issue occurred because the users/groups were not setup correctly.
'sector_fuse' should not be run as root, and the user must be assigned to the
'fuse' group as is outlined in the documentation.
