File Permission problems FCP and XSAN

We have 5 Mac Pros connected to our XSAN (2 Xserves and 2 Promise arrays.). When a file is created on one of the FCP Macs and saved on the XSAN, the permission are OK (Individual - R/W, Group - R/W & Everyone RO.)
The problem is when a file, generally audio (from our sound booth or music from an outside source) or a graphic (usually Photoshop from our Graphics folks) is brought in over the LAN and save to the XSAN volume, the permissions are Individual - R/W, no group is listed and Everyone - No Access.
If they try work on something that another user started, they get permission errors if the sequence contains a file that was brought in from the outside.
I know we can change permissions on a file, but there are so many of them that it is slowing down production.
Is there anything we can do to either eliminate this happening, or have something like a drop folder they can place a file in to automatically change the file permissions?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
The MacPros are running OS X 10.5.8 and FCP 7.0.3 and the XSAN is running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 and XSAN 2.2.
Thanks.

If files saved to the AFP reshare are inaccessible by the fibre clients try this in terminal on your AFP re-share...
sudo serveradmin settings afp:lock_manager = no
Then restart AFP (or reboot), and re-propagate permissions back to where you need them. This will hand off file locking duties from AFP to the Xsan, which will help keep your permissions correct.

FCP and Xsan

Is anyone working with FCP and XSAN?
I working on building a new Server, XSAN system and I am curious on how your workflow is working.

Our workflow is working fine. This discussion is best left for the XSAN forum.

File permission problem and instance owner problem

Hi all
Recently i have install oracle 11g R2 software ( Using oracle user).
oracle home owner is "oracle" and group "oinstall". ( oinstall is primary group and dba as secondary group for the owner "oracle")
At the same time I have create new user name "test" and group as "dba".
As a "test" user i can able to access the software , creating new oracle instance , stop and starting the oracle database (orcl).
But when I started the orcl database as test user.
I can see the different owner for that instance and file permission is also different ( In my cas oracle user is becoming owner for the orcl database , Which is created by the test user )
Please help me in this

Constant file permission problems

Hello out there..
I'm currently trying to sort out a problem with - what I guess is my - file permissions.
The problem reappears, even after a long disk repair session, where loads of issues are found and repaired.
At the end it says everything is ok, but if I click repair again, it starts again , and even after restart, the problem is back again?!?!
I've set my permission as follows, (to those of you who doesn't speak Danish - it's "read & write"), but it still says I have "special access"?
Why? and what can I do to fix it..
Please help me..
Michael

Disk Repair or Permission Repair?
Long list from a Permission Repair that come back is normal. Nothing wrong. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
Long lists of problems from a Disk Repair that keep coming back is bad news. Likely failing disk.
Special Access means you have Access Control List entries set for the particular directory/file.
Did you every change permissions and then "Apply to Enclosed?"
Do you actually have file access problems, or are you just repairing permissions and think the long list indicates a problem?

Normal CGI-Executables permission problem? and Executing Binary CGIs?

Running 10.4.7. And we are having the no permission problem when trying to run CGI scripts from within CGI-Executables. I have looked at the httpd.conf file and the line that was supposed to be there is. I also have an alias under the default webserver pointing to it. Any help?
Also, until then, I made a directory under the main website executable and can run perl cgi files. But I get the following error when running the binary file :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Thanks,
Corey

Forget the CGI-Executables, the Alias was fritzing it up, and deleted the alias and is working. But I am still having the problem of the binary CGI files. The only difference I have on the web server is entropy's PHP5 is installed, but wouldn't think that would be an issue.

[Bug] Xilinx IPCore file permission problem

I just copied a CIC IPCore node from a colleagues VI and tried to reconfigure from a 2-channel to a 4-channel filter.
At the end of the process I got a file permission error for a path which does not exist on my computer (presumably it has remembered the location to save the file from my colleagues computer).
Not too big a problem except the dialog will not close and I now need to exit LabVIEW and restart to get any more work done. In other words, a file permission error (or inexistent path) hangs the IPCore properties dialog at the last stage (at least for the CIC filter). Not nice behaviour.

I realise theres a path input at the beginning of the process but even if this is incorrect, the dialog should not hang.

File naming problem; FCP won't regonize "-a" at the end of file names.

i have a couple FCP project files named as follows:
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-16-06-D.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-17-06-A.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-18-06-A.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-18-06-B.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-18-06-C.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-18-06-C.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-18-06.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-19-06-A.fcp
Family-Obesity-PSA_07-19-06.fcp
and when I open most of the files, the tag on the label in the bin
reads exactly as the file name does.
BUT... if the files end in "-A" (like a few of the ones above) Final
Cut Pro doesnt add the "-A" to the label in the bin, it just says
"Family-Obesity-PSA_07-19-06" when it should say "Family-Obesity-
PSA_07-19-06-A".
Basically FCP ignores the "-A" suffix.
This must be some weird bug. But funny that it only happens on the "-A" suffix...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey. It's not the clip name, it's the project name which is determined based on the file name. And I'm unaware of a way to change the project name. Is there a way?
I don't think I know that David Marchese, but I'm sure there's some connection. My father's parents are from Sicily, but my father and I were both born and raised in America.
Actually I'm a TV commercial editor, so that's kind of funny. Do you still work in the field?

HT201250 Aperture 3 library file permission problem

On trying to open Aperture 3 I get a message saying "Aperture cannot access this library.To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly". When I click OK Aperture shuts down. Can anyone help?
I've been stumbling through trying to rationalise too many Aperture libraries and moving them to an external drive. This is almost certainly how I've manged to get into this situation...

No sorry in Aperture 3 all that got turned into entries in database files. And even if you could find them it would do you no good because the only place an actual image file is located is in the Masters folder, where the files imported are kept and the Previews folder, where the previews are kept.
Also bear in mind that the Masters folder is organized by import date and time not image date and time.
As a side note you need to be very careful using an online backup service for Aperture (and iPhoto) libraries. Because of the way the # libraries there have been reports of some of the services causing libraries problems when restored.

File permission problem

Dear Ravi,
I was encountered another strange problem.
I have a stored procedure which will first create a sh script in the system and execute the script later. If I call the stored procedure from the foreground, everything works fine while run it as backgound, it fails. When I check "all_scheduler_job_run_details" view, I found "perssion denied". I found the sh script is with "-rw-r----" permission and the owner of the sh script is oracle user which is logical because I use utl_file package to create the file. But the extjob runner is nobody which is in "other" group and obviously he don't has enough privilege on the sh script. I tried umask on the background, it gives me "0027" and on the foreground, it is "0022".
I know that I can create the file using the command line as well so that the owner will be nobody as well.
My question is that how could I change the umask to "0022" when I run the extjob.
Regards,
Lik

Hi Lik,
I believe that utl_file creates files with the umask value of the oracle user(027 in your case). You can check the os documentation to change the umask value of an os user.
The switching of umask to 022 in the foreground is in fact a Scheduler bug which has been fixed in 11.1.0.6 where using run_job to run an external job would cause the umask value of the foreground to change (so utl_file would see a wrong umask when run in the foreground).
This is not something that should be happening and not something you should rely on.
Changing the umask for extjob wouldn't help since the umask is only in effect when the file is created. The umask for an external job should be the umask of the user the job is running as.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

These error message are there because some optional dependencies are not installed. You don't need to worry about that unless you want to use these plugins. They are listed when you install audacious-plugins:

System file corrupted? FCP and quicktime suddenly can't convert AVIs

Yesterday I could open an 12 minute AVI file in quick time, go to "Save As" and save it as a MOV file, which would take about 45 seconds, as far as i can see it's a rewrap, not a conversion, but tell me if i'm wrong.
Ive been trying to find the best way to do this on batch, so i've been trying to do do it using Final Cut Pro's batch export tool (ran very slow, crashed a couple of times) and MPEG Streamclip's batch tool (which worked fine, and speedy, but files came out looking interlaced). But finding out how to do this in batches isn't my problem at the moment.
The problem is that today, all the programs seem to struggle with the conversion. What would have taken 45 seconds in quicktime yesterday seems to take up to an hour today. MPEG streamclip suffers similar slow down issues. Final Cut Pro can't even start converting today.
I was just wondering what could have changed to make this happen to all 3 programs at once. I'm assuming that it's a codec, or something that they all reference in the conversion process. I dont know what that would be or where it would be, or how to fix it. If any one could shed any light on any part of this I would be eternally grateful.
The files are dv pal avis, standard definition. Ive tried re-installing Quicktime, I put in the final cut pro disc to see if there was a repair option but there wasnt one. final cut version 6.0.6, quicktime 7.6.4, streamclip 1.9.2

Oracle Secure Backup on Windows: file permission problem?

Hi all.
I did a new Oracle Secure Backup installation.
I implemented a real simple domain:
a Linux box is the media/administrative server. Then I have some Windows and Linux Client.
On a Windows 2000 server SP4 box I'm experiencing an error.
On certain directories i get the following:
The directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory.
On certain files I get the following instead:
The directory name is invalid.
The OSB service is running under the local system account on the client.
Can you help me trouble this error?
Thanks
Giovanni

Thanks for your reply.
Disks are mounted using CIFS.
we got the fix for this, need to do the following changes.
# Turns off locking
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
# Turns off inode caching
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnabled
cheers...

Firefox runs Java applet if in an html file, not if in xhtml file. Google Chrome, and previos version of Firefox OK. Firefox is 13.0.1, Java is 1.6.0_12

Applet is signed, but signature not verified. Firefox should ask permission.
If applet is in an html file, permission is requested and all works OK.
If applet is in an xhtml file, it is not recognised. Changing the file extension from xhtml to html restores correct working (but I do need to run these files as xhtml, so that does not solve the problem!)

Your Java is very out of date, so please update to Java 7 update 5, and test again.
Then, try Resetting Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

DVD .VOB & .TS Files playback in FCP 7

I am looking for an efficient way to edit video directly from DVDs..... In the past I have always used Mpeg Stream Clip and it has worked great.
The other day I dragged a .VOB file directly into FCP and the video played very clean, but there was no audio.
Is there a way to being .VOB or .TS files directly into FCP.

Share directory with users (file permission, symbolic link?)

I have a folder called Music inside my home directory. I want the user "family" to be able to explore and read the files in there. I have set up this file permissions (recursively):
drwxr-s--- 201 pablo users 12K jun 7 16:50 /home/pablo/Music
User "pablo" belongs to the groups "pablo" and "users". user "family" belongs only to the group "users" but not to "pablo".
/home/pablo belongs to group "pablo" and it's file permission is 700, and I want to keep it that way.
Creating a symlink in /home/family/Music that points to /home/pablo/Music was of no use because when trying to cd into it, it says PERMISSION DENIED.
How can I have read access to that folder from the user "family"?

You can do the following:
a. Add a "family" group and change the group owner of your music directory to "family".
b. Change directory permissions to 750 to allow listing and reading the directory by members of the "family" group but not writing to.
c. Add all family members to the "family" group you've just created (or have just one "family" user to be member of the "family" group).
I'd also move that public directory outside my home directory too.
