I mounted a large drive on /usr/images. I then set up Samba and changed
the ownership of /usr/images to be my user account as owner (chown
myuser:myuser images)

After doing a backup or a file copy to this folder from my WinXP machine,
the ownership of /usr/images changes back to 'root'. Thus I get an access
denied error.

Next, I remounted the drive as /var/images (and reconfigure Samba) and I
don't have the problem. Ownership stays put as my user account...

Can someone explain what's going on here?
