[Lustre-discuss] ls does not work on ram disk for normal user

[Thomas Roth]

Hi Michael,

"Identifier removed" occured to me when the user data base was not accessible by
the MDS - when the MDS didn't know about any normal user. "root" is of course known
there, but what does e.g. "id mkluge" say on your MDS?

Regards,
Thomas
