Steps for manually opening permissions on a SAN volume:
- Open a terminal, and get root access
For linux, type su then <enter> and enter the password for root.
For a mac, unless you turned on root, you need to type sudo su then <enter>, and enter the box’s administrator password.
- Verify what the SAN volume is mounted as
Type df –h
This will give you an output similar to this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 57G 45G 9.8G 82% /
tmpfs 5.9G 33M 5.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/cvfsctl1_spycerbox27 12T 6.6G 12T 1% /media/spycer-vol0
In our case, we now know that the spycerbox volume is mounted at /media/spycer-vol/
- Once root user, the generic command is as follows:
chmod –R 777 /the_path_you_want_to_change
- So, if you are on a mac, it’ll probably be something like
chmod –R 777 /Volumes/spycerboxflex/
- On linux it might be something like
chmod –R 777 /media/spycerbox/
