Starting from version %version, all LeoFS nodes are running as non-privileged user leofs
in official Linux packages.
It should work out of the box for new installations and for new nodes on existing installations.
However, for existing nodes upgrading to %version (or later) from earlier versions the change might be not seamless.
Compared to the usual upgrade procedure described at System Maintenance,
extra steps are needed. There are a few options, depending on how the node was configured.
Users that are running installations with default paths (e.g. queue and mnesia in /usr/local/leofs/<version>/leo_*/work
,
log files in /usr/local/leofs/<version>/leo_*/log
, storage data files in /usr/local/leofs/<version>/leo_*
) and follow
original upgrade procedure should do the following:
- During upgrade of node (of any type), after stopping the old version and after copying or moving mnesia / log / queue / data
