Should _change_owner() be moved to lib and used to avoid duplicates?

I believe it's a good idea. I'd change it a bit and create a different Python file (and also move it to the single kernel library repo) to contain utilities related to the filesystem, and keep this library containing only things related to the database connection and interaction.

I moved the _change_owner() function to the single kernel lib on canonical/postgresql-single-kernel-library#10.

Good catch. I'm checking and testing a consistent approach in all the places where the permissions are specific.

We'll need to change it to 700 everywhere, to be consistent. As we're always accessing the directories as the owner, there is no need to have permissions for the group to access them.

Issue
When using
tmpfsfor thetempstorage, if we reboot the host machine, and later, after the charm starts again, it's not possible to create temporary objects, like temporary tables.The reason is that after the reboot, the storage is mounted with wrong ownership and permissions (owned by
rootinstead of_daemon_and with permissions set to755instead of700).Solution
Fix the permissions when the charm starts again.
I'll create a follow-up PR in the single kernel library repo to port those changes.
