Xsan Tuner incorrectly reports volume is mounted read-only

Issue or symptom

Attempting to run Xsan Tuner from different workstations as users with differing UIDs may result in Xsan Tuner reporting that the volume is mounted read-only on one of the workstations.

Solution

Use Get Info in the Finder to change the permissions of the Xsan Tuner folder (at the root level of the volume) to allow read-write access for either Group or Others. Xsan Tuner will then be able to simultaneously write to the Xsan Tuner folder as different users from different workstations.

Additional information

Xsan Tuner creates a folder at the root of an Xsan volume named Xsan Tuner. It writes data to this folder and then measures performance statistics about the writing of the data or of reading it. The default permissions on the Xsan Tuner folder allow only the first user account that used Xsan Tuner to write data to the folder, and other users receive the inaccurate read-only message.
