Hi Alexander, I think about evaluating the mount points. Just calling /sbin/mount already reveals all mountpoints having the noowners flag set. The difficulty is now to find out if some parts of the tree have been moved over to a partition with this flag set. One might have to walk the whole tree to evaluate this matter if it is done the way I did (setting symlinks to the new destination). This is possible, but takes a lot of time, I think. But it could be done upon a failure like the one I encountered to confine the root of the problem.
