Dear bug-hunters,
This message maybe totally useless but maybe a confirmation if similar
received.
Chown gave an "Operation not permitted" "error" but seems to have
worked as expected anyway.
Maybe a system glitch or a chown bug so just fyi.
Intention: change root:root to root:users on dir struct
command: sudo chown -R root:users /run/media/user_name/long_disk_number/*
( so mounted through /run/media but an internal disk i.e. no
external usb, or such )
chown went happily on its way but with a message in between:
chown: changing ownership of ‘/run/media/rest_/of_/path_/filename ':
Operation not permitted
Puzzling, but no time to look into it immediately.
After sys power off ( and later on again ) I did an
"ls -hal" on that specific file: it had become root:users after all;
surprisingly !
To check if I had not checked a wrong (rightly changed) filename I did a
"find -not -group users" on the dir struct
which did not come up with any ( by chown ) missed file, so all seems
well after all.
Also a replay of the command for that (already changed to root:users
file) worked without no problem.
Also2 changing that file to root:dialout and back again to root:users
showed no problem.
in conclusion: ???
background info:
chown (GNU coreutils) 8.22
Best regards,
A. Colijn
