[Moosefs-users] Trying to install MooseFS but EACCES error

[Max <ma...@ag...>]

Hello!

I am actually trying to install MooseFS with your step-by-step guide on
http://www.moosefs.org/tl_files/manpageszip/moosefs-step-by-step-tutorial-v.1.1.pdf

Every step worked fine until I try to 
#/usr/sbin/mfsmaster start 
for the first time. I get this error:
"can't create lockfile in working directory: EACCES (Permission denied)"

User mfs is part of the mfs group. I tried as root, as mfs and as
myself.

Machine is:
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
Release:	8.04
Codename:	hardy

Chunkservers are going to be Fedora 15 and ext3.

Any idea? could it be a directory missing or something like that?

Thank you!
