Comment 10 Prasad Desala 2016-10-18 11:49:44 UTC
Verified this BZ against glusterfs version:3.8.4-2.el7rhgs.x86_64.

Here are the steps that were performed,
1) Created a distributed replica volume and started it.
2) FUSE mounted the volume on a client as a non root user.
3) Changed the permission on the mount point.
sudo chmod a+rwx,+t /mnt/bug/
4) Created a file on the mount point.
5) Added few bricks to the volume. The newly added bricks has got the same permissions as in step-3.
6) From client, created files and folders. No permission denied errors are seen and files & directories are created successfully without errors.

Hence, moving the BZ to Verified.
