Permission denied creating file in a world-writable directory

[vipseixas]

Using infinit 0.7.3 on a CentOS7.3, mounted a volume and set the root as world-writable:

$ infinit acl list --path . 
.:
  inherit: true
  world: rw
    fasolti (owner): rw
$ touch one
$ sudo touch two
touch: cannot touch 'two': Permission denied

I though maybe the user must be known by infinit, so I tried to create a root user:

$ infinit user create --name root
Generating RSA keypair.
Locally saved identity for user "root".
$ sudo touch two
touch: cannot touch 'two': Permission denied

Last try was to give explicit permissions to user root:

$ infinit acl set --path . --mode rw --user root
infinit: fatal error: unable to set extended attribute: Invalid argument

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @vipseixas.

Sorry for the late answer.

When you mount an Infinit volume, it uses the infinit user named after --as, INFINIT_USER or the default user name and mounts the volume as the current UNIX user.

Permissions inside the volume are managed by Infinit but access to the volume is limited to the UNIX mounting the volume, that's why sudo touch won't work.
