fix: fall back to creating a temp file on NFS mounts#43976
Conversation
The built-in method `is_writable()` is not reliable on NFS mounts so we should fall back to creating a random file to check for delete permissions. Ref https://stackoverflow.com/a/50801358 Ref #13237 Signed-off-by: Richard Steinmetz <richard@steinmetz.cloud>

why does creating a random file successfully imply that the other file is deletable? 🤔

Because we create the file on the parent directory. If we can create a new file in the parent directory we can also delete a file from it as the write permission bit is responsible for both.

For primary/home storage we should just hardcode will permissions as we don't support anything but full permissions on the data directory. For local external storage this might still make sense though. But having to create a tmp file every time we query the permissions would be much to expensive |

Summary
The built-in method
is_writable()is not reliable on NFS mounts so we should fall back to creating a random file to check for delete permissions.This might have an impact on performance as we create, write to a file and unlink it again.
