Re: [MooseFS-Users] unable to set goal - operation not permitted

[Aleksander W. <ale...@mo...>]

Hi
Check if you have admin flag added in your mfsexports.cfg file.
For tests you can add this flag for "*" addresses and root folder.

*                       /       rw,alldirs,admin,maproot=0

This option was deployed in MooseFS 3.0 to prevent changing goals by
default.
Remember that new mfssetgoal tool is able to change not only goals but
labels. So good idea is to give this rights only for administrator.

More about labels you can find in our document "MooseFS 3.0 LABELS
Manual" at:
https://moosefs.com/documentation.html
