NFS Gateway – Message: cannot create directory

NFS gateway is installed and configured on a HDP 2.3.0 Hadoop Gatway Node. NFS is up and running, Linux and Hadoop users are created, and privileges are granted. Anyway, when creating a folder e.g. “mydir” this message comes up:

mkdir: cannot create directory `mydir’: Permission denied.

But the linux ls command as well as the hadoop fs -ls /… shows the created directory.

Any solution, or workaround for this issue?

Thanks a lot!
