Can't change file permissions as root

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I just wanted to set some file permissions right. As root:

# chown -R kikinovak:users /home/kikinovak/Documents

But all I get is a series of “Operation not permitted” errors. What’s going on here? I tried this:


# find /home/kikinovak/Documents -type d -exec chmod 0755 \{} \;

… with the same strange errors.

I’m puzzled. Any suggestions?

hi,

can you post the strange errors?

On which files, exactly? Post a sample error with a single file.

Is it, per chance, a reiserfs partition?

Nah, I just found out. I completely forgot it’s an NFS mount :stuck_out_tongue:
