Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04
My posixovl version: fuse-posixovl: Installed: 1.2~20100321+git4224970-1 Candidate: 1.2~20100321+git4224970-1 I've mounted as a root a posixovl directory over a cifs directory that doesn't handle file permissions. My cifs fstab mount: //file-server/gabriele /mnt/file-server cifs noauto,noperm,nounix,noserverino,mapchars,user=**,password=**,sec=ntlm,users 0 0 my posixovl mount commands (i've tried them all) # mount.posixovl /mnt/fileserver/subdir # mount.posixovl -F /mnt/fileserver/subdir if I # cd /mnt/fileserver/subdir # touch testfile # chmod g+w testfile I get a: chmod: changing permissions of `testfile': Permission denied though i'm successfully able to chown. I mounted the cifs fliesysem and the posixovl as root. ** Affects: fuse-posixovl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987272 Title: chmod (as root) gets "permission denied" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fuse-posixovl/+bug/987272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
