- Subject: 1.3.14 Permission denied while doing a touch on MVFS
I just installed 1.3.14 and am now experiencing problems with permission
denied when doing a touch but only when working on Clearcase's MVFS file
system (i.e. a dynamic view). AFAICT I do have ntsec set and a proper
/etc/passwd file, etc. This all sounds like other permissions problems
that I've read about recently but the kicker is that in involves a 3rd
party file system from Rational, Clearcase's MVFS file system. Here's an
example:
$ cd /tmp
$ touch file
$ touch file
No problems.
$ cd //server/share
$ touch file
$ touch file
No problems on a share either
$ cd M:/myview/myvob
$ touch file
$ touch file
touch: setting times of `file': Permission denied
$ ls -l file
-rw-r--r-- 1 adefaria Domain U 0 Oct 31 15:17 file
(Note that the M drive is the drive assigned to Clearcase dynamic views).
Now if I hop on a machine running 1.3.12:
$ cd M:/myview/myvob
$ touch file
$ touch file
No problems! Seems to me that 1.3.14 introduced this problem. What
things can I check to find out why this is failing on 1.3.14?
(I've attached an strace of the touch file exhibiting the problem on MVFS)
Thanks.
