To help us identify the issue, please post the exact error message from 'chown',
and the output from 'chown --version'.
A typical error message from GNU coreutils' chown looks like so:
$ chown --version | head -n1
chown (GNU coreutils) 8.23.170-02f67
$ sudo touch 1
$ chown gordon: 1
chown: changing ownership of ‘1’: Operation not permitted
Without knowing full details,
My first guess would it that it might have something to do with root-squashing
on the NFS-server-side
(meaning, the 'root' user on your Ubuntu server does not actually have
super-user permissions on the NFS mount,
and thus ownership modifications are blocked).
more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_security#Root_squash .
