[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-4591) Pass -umask option to jsvc

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13445292#comment-13445292 ] 

Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-4591:
----------------------------------------

Correction, should be 0027, which gives group execute permissions, since directories can't be read without them.

> Currently jsvc defaults to a very restrictive umask. This makes it hard for external tools to work with cassandra data files (snapshots). It would be useful to pass in a -umask option to jsvc with slightly less restrictive permissions (just adding group read permissions).
> It should just be passing 'umask 0037' (u=rwx,g=r,o=), in the debian init script.
