Description of problem: The /etc/cinder/shares.conf file created by packstack for the GlusterFS is been created with the following permissions: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 43 Jan 7 11:59 /etc/cinder/shares.conf according to the manuals the cinder group should have writing permissions on this file as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-packstack-2013.2.1-0.27.dev936.el6.noarch How reproducible: 100%
I don't think that's needed. We have a working scenario of Cinder with Glusterfs backend where the permissions are: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 60 Oct 11 02:40 /etc/cinder/shares.conf As long as the file and the path is open for reading by 'others' then there are no reasons why Cinder could not get the shares. If that confirmed then the cinder group might have to update its manual?. BTW, Yogev, could you please provide the manuals you're referring to?
According to the cinder experts the current privileges are ok. Is this correct Eric Harney?
