Description
bucketfsd (OS process inside DB container performing BucketFS-related tasks) and possibly other processes as well were trying to write to write-protected directories under /opt/exasol/. This was never a security risk, but it could cause monitoring events containing “EACCES (Permission denied)” errors.
Workaround
Add an exception/filter for these events to the monitoring system.
Fix
The cause for these write access attempts has been identified and remedied. If exceptions/filters have already been added to monitoring systems for these events, they can be removed again.
