i have also noticed a similar issue but mine is just with symlinks and ocfs in general: say /opt is my mounted ocfs2 partition
node1:# ln -s /opt/blah /etc/issue node1:# ls -lah /opt/blah lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-15 22:26 /opt/blah -> /etc/issue node2:# ls -lah /opt/blah lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-15 22:26 /opt/blah -> /etc/issue Then say i change the ownership of the symlink node1:# chown -h user1 /opt/blah node1:# ls -lah /opt/blah lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 root 10 2008-04-15 23:30 /opt/blah -> /etc/issue But the ownership on any of the other nodes has not been updated: node2:# ls -lah /opt/blah lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-15 22:26 /opt/blah -> /etc/issue This however is not the case with regular files, updating the ownership on a standard file is fine across all nodes -- Copying file to an OCFS2 file system using rsync result in wrong ownership of symlinks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
