Permission problem question

Joe Chow_1 — Wed, 20 Jul 2005 09:09:48 GMT

Hello, there.

I'm having problem changing permission on a particular file. This file is own by root, but I can't seem to be able to do anything about it, can't read it, can't change permission etc...
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem here.

thanks in advance.
Joe

My guess would be that it's in an NFS mount.

Is this a local or NFS file? Is the filesystem mounted readonly?

Thanks for the help!

Yes, I just totally overlooked the nfs filesystem. This file is nfs mount from a different system.
