Hi, I have simple installation, using mostly defaults, of two mirrored servers. One brick, one volume. GlusterFS version is 3.12.1 (server and client). All hosts involved are Debian 9.1. On another host I have mounted two different directories from the cluster using /etc/fstab: gfs1,gfs2:/vol1/sites-available/ws0 /etc/nginx/sites-available glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 and gfs1,gfs2:/vol1/webroots/ws0 /var/www glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 I cd to /var/www/example.com/public_html/www.example.com/ and run: chown -R auser:agroup . and get: chown: fts_read failed: No such file or directory If I try the same on one of the glusterfs servers, it works fine as expected. However, if I run: chown auser:agroup * chown auser:agroup */* chown auser:agroup */*/* [...] all the way to the bottom of the directory tree, it all works fine. Also, and this is really weird: I just discovered that if I shut down nginx, the "chown -R" works... According to "lsof| grep /var/www" no files under that mount point are opened. I unmounted /etc/nginx/sites-available, and it made no difference. How could nginx possible make chown fail like this? And only when using "-R". (Of course, it works on a similar host/setup apart from all files residing on local filesystem...) Best regards, /Stefan Bergstrand
