Hello,

Cross Mounted

Recently we did a migration from one NFS storage server to another NFS
storage server. During this Migration all the copied File had owners as
root. In the recent NFS storage server the FTP server option is no more
available so we have mounted the NFS storage to a linux running on VMware
infra(as a ftp server). So when we try change the owner of any file
mounted to Linux we get a permission denied(Even when we try it as root).
The message we get is "permission denied"(This is the only message). The ls
-l clearly gives that all the file has the owner as root.

Has any undergone this situation ? Why a root cannot change the owner(root)
to someother ID ?
Since the files have the User and Group copied from previous NFS storage.
Aren't there anyways to change the Owner and Group from Linux ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jake
