Unable to allow_root when using MooseFS & OSXFUSE

[Raja Kannan]

I am trying to mount the MooseFS using OSXFUSE and allow access through AppleFileServer (AFP) but unfortunately -o allow_root option is not working , giving the below error, I am thinking I need to allow_root because AppleFileServer is running as root.

mfsmount   ~/moosemfs/  -p  -o allow_root -o extended_security  -o local -H server.domain.com

MFS Password:

mfsmaster accepted connection with parameters: read-write,restricted_ip,admin ; root mapped to root:wheel ; setgoal limited to (2:3)

can't set open file limit to 100000

open file limit set to: 6250

fuse: allow_other and allow_root are mutually exclusive

error in fuse_mount

Not sure where is the allow_other gets set so that can disable that enable to allow root with -o allow_root ? Please help.

You're probably better off asking the MooseFS folk where they set the allow_other option and if they have a way to disable that. 

Not knowing what mfsmount is, if it happens to be a shell script you might be able to go in and change it. It's also possible that they are setting it internally in compiled code at which point you would need that updated and recompiled to fix the problem. 

Cheers,

Sam

I am able to mount now by adding option -n -o allow_root but when re-sharing the mounted folder through AppleFileServer (AFP) , AppleFileServer is not able to see the folder in MooseFS through AFP or SMB even though I am able to to share the folder as share points through the Server app. root is mapped to root:wheel so I am hoping AppleFileServer should be able to see, even I switched to root, it was able to see through the terminal but AppeFileServer not able to see the folder ?? Please advise.
