Problem description: | |
Consider a file system directory owned by user A, yet meant to be used by a group of people, so having 770 permissions. Now user B, member of that group, tries to use this directory for creating some file, e.g. an explain file or a reject file. SET EXPLAIN FILE TO "/that/dir/user_B_explain.out"; 534: Cannot open EXPLAIN output file. For an external table reject file you'd see: 26154: Could not open file: (file, errno)=(/that/dir/rej.log,13). and this in message log: Failed to open /that/dir/rej.log, EACCES | |
