pvfs2-chmod – modify permissions on files in OrangeFS volumes
Synopsis
pvfs2-chmod [-v] mode filename(s)
Description
The pvfs2-chmod utility modifies the permission bits on the OrangeFS files specified. The mode is specified as a three or four digit octal number in the conventional manner.
The options are as follows:
- -v
Print version number and exit.
Environment
- PVFS2_DEBUGFILE
If set to the path of a local file, redirect debug output to it.
- PVFS2_DEBUGMASK
Set the OrangeFS debug mask. Possible masks are documented in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1).
- PVFS2TAB_FILE
If set, the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file
Files
/etc/pvfs2tab
Examples
Prevent other users from accessing a file.
pvfs2-chmod 600 /mnt/foo
Allow the owner and users in the file's group to read and modify the file and other users to only read the file.
pvfs2-chmod 664 /mnt/foo
Caveats
This utility does not support symbolic permissions like the chmod(1) utility.
Note that because OrangeFS is a network file system, any user with access to the network may be able to circumvent file permissions.
