Dear All, I use busybox/adduser to create a new user account. However, it prompts error message "Operation not permitted". The user account is created under an FAT32 partition. Options to mount this FAT32 partition are shown as the followings: /dev/sda/part1 on /home2 type msdos (rw,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fma sk=0000,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437)
Command/operation to create a new user account is as follows: # whoami root # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) # adduser -h /home2/xyz xyz adduser: /home2/xyz: Operation not permitted Changing password for xyz New password: Retype password: Password for xyz changed by root And I found that owner and group of /home2/xyz is not xyz but another id (the user who own id = 1000). Please note that uid for xyz is 1002. So, I execute "chown" and get the error message: # chown xyz /home2/xyz chown: /home2/xyz: Operation not permitted Excuse me, what else I missed in order to create this user account? What operation is tried while I execute "adduser" and "chown" but is denied? Thank you very much.
