How best to hide directories in a storage-gateway?

[Chandin Wilson - NOAA Affiliate]

Hey Globus-folk,

I'm not having much success hiding directories that start with a $__ string from a posix storage gateway.  Shouldn't this work as a [file] argument to --restrict-paths? 

 

{
    "DATA_TYPE": "path_restrictions#1.0.0",
    "read": ["/data" ],
    "none": ["/", "$__CFN__", "$__NDMP__"]
}

Thanks for any insight!

Hi Chan-

What problems are you seeing? I'm not able to duplicate any issues with this configuration (tested with GCS v5.4.63+). Feel free to contact sup...@globus.org if problems persist.

A couple of comments though. Paths should be absolute paths except when prefixed with wildcards (exceptions to this are $HOME and ~). And saying '"read": ["/data" ]' implies '"none": ["/"]' so you should get the results you wanted with just the 'read' field.

The problem is I'm still seeing those directories in the web file browser for that collection.

I'll try the "*$__CFN__", "*$__NDMP__" wildcard style, and see where that goes.
