Greetings, I'm trying to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4. When trying to mount the original nfs items, I'm getting the following error: vdsm.storage.exception.StorageServerAccessPermissionError: Permission settings on the specified path do not allow access to the storage. Verify permission settings on the specified storage path.: 'path = /rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfs_path' with the following stack trace: 2020-10-08 19:00:17,961+0000 ERROR (jsonrpc/4) [storage.HSM] Could not connect to storageServer (hsm:2421) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/fileSD.py", line 82, in validateDirAccess getProcPool().fileUtils.validateAccess(dirPath) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/outOfProcess.py", line 194, in validateAccess raise OSError(errno.EACCES, os.strerror(errno.EACCES)) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/hsm.py", line 2418, in connectStorageServer conObj.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 449, in connect return self._mountCon.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 190, in connect six.reraise(t, v, tb) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/six.py", line 703, in reraise raise value File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 183, in connect self.getMountObj().getRecord().fs_file) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/fileSD.py", line 93, in validateDirAccess raise se.StorageServerAccessPermissionError(dirPath) via an ls, it looks like there are the correct permissions: ls -alh total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 1 vdsm kvm 100 Oct 8 19:15 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 vdsm kvm 115 Oct 8 19:02 .. drwxr-xr-x. 1 vdsm kvm 52 Oct 1 20:35 ffe7b7bb-a391-42a9-9bae-480807509778 d---------. 1 vdsm kvm 22 Mar 17 2020 '#recycle' But, I wrote a short script to check the individual permissions that are checked, and it thinks I can't write to the directory: We can Read From it: /rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath We can't write to it: /rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath We can execute to it: /rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath This is doing a simple: print(os.stat(path)) if os.access(path, os.F_OK): print("It Exists", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") else: print("It Doesn't Exists", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") if os.access(path, os.R_OK): print("We can Read From it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") else: print("We can't Read from it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") if os.access(path, os.W_OK): print("We can write to it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") else: print("We can't write to it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") if os.access(path, os.X_OK): print("We can execute to it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") else: print("We can can't to it: ", "/rhev/data-center/mnt/nfshost:nfspath") I took this same checks over to the Centos 7 host, and I it passes the checks fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Lee
