I've got alfresco 3 B release installed, and am seeing some errors like this:
A system error happened during the operation: Failed to create directory for file storage:
/var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/contentstore/2008/12/8/15/18
I look at the user alfresco is running as:
$ ps aux | grep [a]lfresco
alfresco 8035 0.3 55.6 1046848 284764 pts/1 Sl Dec17 5:04 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xms256m -Xmx512m -server -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/lib/alfresco/tmp -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/logging.properties -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/alfresco/tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath :/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/alfresco/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/alfresco/tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/alfresco/tomcat/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

so the whole process is running as alfresco. Looking through the "trouble directories":
$ ls -l /var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/contentstore/2008/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 4 alfresco alfresco 4096 2008-11-28 10:08 11
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-12-04 16:10 12
This is obviously the cause of the problem. But why did one get set as owner root? Also, *something* clearly got added there:
$ ls -lR /var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/contentstore/2008/12/
/var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/contentstore/2008/12/:

I guess I'll manually chown to user alfresco for now. Can anyone advise how to prevent these directories/files being created with owner root?
