Site is running with no observed problems.

When go into Octopus AEgir Panel -- and try to use one of the following task "clone" or "backup". The task fails with the error message:

Could not generate database backup from mysqldump. (error: sh: cannot create /data/disk/dev/static/dev.site.com//sites/dev.site.com/database.sql: Permission denied sed: couldn't write 22 items to stdout: Broken pipe mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write )

If I run the "verify" command it completes successfully. with one warning

Could not change permissions sites/dev.site.com to 755 (chmod to 755 failed on sites/dev.site.com)

Looking at site.com/admin/reports/status no warnings are shown.

Thank you

have you tried to do the chmod 755 on sites/dev.site.com manually as root? and check that chown aegir.aegir are the owner.group? After that re-run verify again and see if you still get the warning?

This is Octopus instance, so not aegir:aegir but dev.ftp:users and permissions 775, not 755. You probably messed something with permissions there.

Thanks for the replies.

Changing the permissions allowed me to run backup but note clone.
I noticed the group is set to "users" and "www-data" which I believe is not correct.

Can someone please confirm and if wrong advise how to change?

Thank you!

There is a /var/xdrago/usage.sh script running daily. It should fix all permissions for you. You can run it also manually.

executed command
bash /var/xdrago/usage.sh as a ROOT User

Via web interface ran - "Verify" - Output was all green except:

Could not change permissions sites/dev.site.com to 755 (chmod to 755 failed on sites/dev.site.com)

Knowing it would fail, Tried "clone" - Task failed and following was in the error:

Could not generate database backup from mysqldump. (error: sh: cannot create /data/disk/dev/static/dev.site.com//sites/dev.site.com/database.sql: Permission denied sed: couldn't write 44 items to stdout: Broken pipe mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write )

What is the result of: ls -la /data/disk/dev/static/dev.site.com/sites/dev.site.com ?

Also, is there any reason you are using site domain name as your platform directory name?

Cloning resolved -- issue wrong owner. Changed all to 'dev'.

Result of -- ls -la /data/disk/dev/static/dev.site.com/sites/dev.site.com

Output:

For question -- any reason you are using site domain name as your platform directory name?

No - only lack of knowledge on the initial setup of this platform. Now we are able to clone the site. Plan to migrate to a new platform with a better naming scheme.

If there is place to share my lessons learned please do advise. As always THANK YOU!
