Stopping/Starting a Gluster volume resets ownership

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have noticed that if you stop and start a Gluster volume the ownership of the mount reverts to root/root. For example, On a client machine with the volume mounted as "testvol" we see:
drwxr-xr-x 30 testuser testuser 4096 Dec  2 10:18 testvol
  • We then stop and start the volume on the storage server:
[root@rhs-xxx xxxx]# gluster volume stop testvol
Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
volume stop: testvol: success
[root@rhs-xxx xxxx]# gluster volume start testvol
volume start: testvol: success
  • Immediately after we look at the mount point again and see:
drwxr-xr-x 30 root      root      4096 Dec  2 10:18 testvol
