Solved: gcsfuse does not allow others to write - Page 2

Hi Team, I mounted a bucket onto a local path using the following command found in the tutorial (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gcsfuse-mount

gcsfuse -o allow_other my-bucket /path/to/mount/point

I ran this command as user A. However, user B are able to read from/path/to/mount/point but not write to it. They got the error

touch: cannot touch '/path/to/mount/point/foo.txt': Permission denied

I did

 chmod -R a+w /path/to/mount/point

but it still does not help. How can I resolve that? Thanks!

A bit of extra context: if user B did the above instead, they can write to it but this time user A could not write to it but only read from it.

Hi All,

if you want the bucket to be read and/or writable by everyone, you can specify the desired chmod numerical format for file-mode and dir-mode, for example:

mount -t gcsfuse -o allow_other,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 my-bucket /path/to/mount/point

This would set chmod 777 for files and directories and can be adapted as desired.

Hope this helps.
