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

Max,

In your mfsmaster.cfg set DATA_PATH to somewhere that is writable by WORKING_USER. Otherwise create and chown the directory its attempting to use (typically /var/mfs). Mfschunkserver, and mfsmetalogger have the same configuration variable and the same requirement of having a writable data directory.
