To test this, unmount the share with sudo umount /sfs-test
and then run sudo mount -a
. This should cause the share to mount again if you have everything correct, otherwise you'll see an error message. If it worked, it's then safe to reboot the machine to test mounting on boot up. If it didn't work, don't reboot until you've fixed it or commented out the entry as it may prevent a proper boot up and you'd have to look at the VM console in Morpheus to correct the problem.
6. Managing Directory Permissions
When setting up your Shared File System (SFS) share, it's important to ensure correct directory permissions to maintain security and accessibility. Below are recommendations for managing directory permissions, and you can choose the one that best fits your requirements
Change Ownership: Use the
chown
command to change the ownership of directories and files to specific users or groups. This ensures that the appropriate users have access to the files and directories. For example:sudo chown -R desired_user:desired_group /path/to/mount/point
Grant Write Permissions: If needed, grant write permissions to everyone on the base directory using the
chmod
command. However, this is less secure but convenient for a small, trusted group. For example:sudo chmod a+w /path/to/mount/point
Create Subdirectories Securely: When creating subdirectories, it's recommended to do so as the root user and then change the ownership to the target user or users. This approach enhances security, especially for single users.
Utilize Shared Groups: If multiple users need access, consider using the Unix group model and changing the ownership to a shared group. This allows multiple users to share a directory securely.
By following any of these steps, you can effectively manage directory permissions on your SFS share, ensuring both security and accessibility.
