Hello Cephers,
I am trying to understand how uid and gid are handled on the shared cephfs mount. I am using 14.2.2 and cephfs kernel based client. I have 2 client vms with following uid gid vm1 user dev (uid=500) group dev (gid=500) vm2 user dev (uid=500) group dev (gid=500) vm1 user tomcat (uid=996) group tomcat (gid=995) vm2 user tomcat (uid=990) group tomcat (gid=990) on both machines user tomcat is added to a group dev. Directory /webcluster/data is a kernel cephfs mount and has permissions visible on both clients as rwxrwxr-x dev dev /webcluster/data also rwxr-xr-x root root /webcluster So it is my understanding that on both vms I should be able to successfully run touch /webcluster/data/foo as user tomcat. However, on vm2 I get permission denied when I attempt to write a file in /webcluster/data. When I change uid and gid of tomcat on vm2 to match those on vm1, then I successfully can write into /webcluster/data. As on both machines user tomcat is a member of group dev and group dev is allowed to write in the directory, why do the uids of the group members need to match across network? I tried research it on my own and failed to find a good explanation.
