`/project` and `/scratch` folders belong to root

[mc2zk]

In my test Jupyter session, the /project and /scratch folders belong to root, so I am only able to create files in the /user directory.

Ah I see this related to #3 for permissions. We'll sort out permissions for these dirs.

"scratch" is basically unimplemented in the current aws environment, sorry.

"project" is owned by user root, but the group permissions should grant you access:

[user@jupyter-python-dparsle-x8bh2 home]$ ls -Flad project
drwxrwsr-x. 3 root project 6144 Jan 22 14:44 project/
[user@jupyter-python-dparsle-x8bh2 home]$ ls -Fland project
drwxrwsr-x. 3 0 4000007 6144 Jan 22 14:44 project/

Can you double-check your ability to write to project/, and failing that, leave your pod running and paste in the permissions as shown above?

[mc2zk]

Sorry for the delay. I still cannot write files in project. I think I left my pod running. Here's output from my terminal session:

 [user@jupyter-python-micheleco-84mzp project]$ pwd
/home/project
[user@jupyter-python-micheleco-84mzp project]$ touch testfile
touch: cannot touch 'testfile': Permission denied
[user@jupyter-python-micheleco-84mzp project]$ cd ..
[user@jupyter-python-micheleco-84mzp home]$ ls -lsa
total 8
0 drwxr-xr-x.  1 root root      48 Dec  8 23:43 .
0 drwxr-xr-x.  1 root root      28 Jan 26 19:53 ..
4 drwxrwsr-x.  2 root 4000032 6144 Dec  9 14:36 project
0 drwxrwxr-x.  2 root     491    6 Dec  8 23:43 scratch
4 drwx------. 10 user 2000014 6144 Jan 20 20:21 user

Maybe the group ownership for project is not recognized? Or, I'm not in that group?

Ah, thanks! @rkc7h can you have a look? For some reason, Michele's group ID is just 4000000:

[user@jupyter-python-micheleco-84mzp home]$ id
uid=2000014(user) gid=20000014(user) groups=20000014(user),4000000(project)

David,

Ok I will update and reply back

Regards Ravi

Hi David,

I reviewed the list I received from Neal and 4000000 is the gid listed for UVARC project, which is same thing and commons for everyone. The ugid for Michelle is 20000014 as I can see here as well. Let me know what would like me to adjust?

@cagancayco and I are having the same problem

[nmagee]

I believe this is resolved in the new production environment. UID/GID are being set properly now in the NFS.

[nmagee]

/scratch dir has been dropped. The new structure is:

/home/project
/home/user

Behind the scenes within storage, USER directories are next to the shared PROJECT space, all contained within a parent dir for the project itself:

/projectX
/projectX/nem2p
/projectX/cag3fr
/projectX/rdmse
/projectX/shared

Within the container itself, the /project and /user mounts are under /home:

/home/user                700 owned by user.user
/home/project             770 owned by user.project

Project-specific user dirs are to prevent project-to-project bleedover (a security risk) if users had one, single, consistent, home dir across multiple projects.

At launchtime the ACCORD user, i.e. mst3k@virginia.edu or mst3k@vt.edu) is mapped in as user with their ACCORD-specific UID number, and their group mapped as project with their ACCORD project-specific GID number.

Hi @nmagee this was also resolved hence closing this issue
