On a backup drive /mnt/home/tom , I want to change all directories
and
files in tom to owner:tom .
The drive is mounted but from /home the command chown -R tom tom is not
changing the directories and files to owner, tom .
Command chown -R tom:tom tom won't change the ownership in the
directories and files in
directory tom .
please provide some infomrations, nobody can help you if
nobody knows anything!
* which user does execute "chown"?
* outputs of "ls -lha"
* use "chown --preserve-root --changes --no-dereference -R"
