I have a system with a 1TB file system that is NFS exported. This filesystems holds image files owned by a user called 'annot'. The user is local as well as defined in NIS.
A random collection of files owned by this user are tarfu'ed. When ever you try any command on them you get a permission denied. As root, I have tried the following commands (for the purpose of this example I will call it image1) chown root image1 rm -f image1 cp /dev/null image1 : > image1 mv image1 image1 rsync image1 /tmp/image1 (I even wrote a perl script that does an unlink and this failed as well) I have also tried these commands as the local user annot (with NIS disabled) as well as the NIS user annot. (NIS enabled and local account removed) I believe this is not a uid/gid/NIS/NFS problem. This is a Red Hat 7.2 system and the filesystem is reiserfs. The only thing out of the ordinary is that this filesystem is visible by two systems in an NFS cluster setup. (active/passive failover config) The filesystem is never mounted to both systems at once, but merely visible on the scsi bus. It would be nice to ignore these but I am mirroring this data with rsync and it dies when it encounters these files. Since this filesystem is many thousands of directories and over 500,000 files I do not want to brute force these mirrors. (Ugh) As a sidenote, I have a total of 5 1 TB filesystems and I only see this problem on this one. (all 5 are identical in physcial topology) I have done a full fsck of this filesystem in single-user mode and it seemed fine. Anyone have any ideas or tricks to try to get rid of these files? Is this a reiserfs problem? (I was hesitant to use reiserfs) Thanks for any help, Chuck -- Chuck Carson Sr. Systems Engineer 3848 Shasta Street Pacific Beach, CA 92109 +1 (858) 442-0827 Cell +1 (858) 731-3540 Work +1 (800) 213-8769 Mesg _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
