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

Hi Max!

User running mfsmaster process needs to have write privileges to its working
folder.

What do you have in your mfsmaster.cfg at DATA_PATH and WORKING_USER
options?

If your user is 'mfs' you shoud have 'WORKING_USER = mfs'. By default
DATA_PATH points to '/usr/local/var/mfs' - you need to check if 'mfs' user
has write privilege to this folder (the best if 'mfs' user was the owner of
this folder).


Kind regards

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

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!
