Better yet, change the ownership of the /tools directory to user root
by running the following command:
chown -R root:root /tools
Question: Is the intention to put all the files under
$LFS/tools as belonging to user root and group root?
If so, this command does not work that way because
/tools is a symbolic link.
From man chown:
-H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a
directory, traverse it
The following two options will change user:group
chown -RH root:root /tools
or
chown -R root:root $LFS/tools
Below is an example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# ls -l /tools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 20 23:01 /tools -> /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# ls -ld $LFS/tools
drwxr-xr-x 2 lfs root 4096 Apr 20 23:01 /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# chown -R root:root /tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# ls -l /tools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 20 23:01 /tools -> /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# ls -ld $LFS/tools
drwxr-xr-x 2 lfs root 4096 Apr 20 23:01 /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# chown -RH root:root /tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]# ls -ld $LFS/tools
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 23:01 /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lfs-scripts]#
