[Moosefs-users] Changing metadata permissions

[Stas O. <sta...@gm...>]

Hi.

I'm trying to set-up an external process which would back-up the metadata.

Unfortunately the metadata files have read by mfs user only.

Is it possible to pass any parameter to MFS to create files readable by
other users as well?
Or the only solution is to sudo the backing up process to MFS user?

Regards.

Hi!

 

Thanks for pointing this. We will implement something like FILE_UMASK in the
future version so it would be possible to decide about the access rights.

 

 

Regards

Michal
