chown: changing ownership of `.': Invalid argument
- by Pierre
I'm trying to install some new files on our new server while our sysadmin is in holidays:
Here is my df
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb3 273G 11G 248G 5% /
tmpfs 48G 260K 48G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1 485M 187M 273M 41% /boot
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:/commun
63T 2.2T 61T 4% /commun
as root , I can create a new directory and run chown under /home/lindenb
# cd /home/lindenb/
# mkdir X
# chown lindenb X
but I cannot run the same command under /commun
# cd /commun/data/users/lindenb/
# mkdir X
# chown lindenb X
chown: changing ownership of `X': Invalid argument
why ? how can I fix this ?
