Hi all,
I am trying to migrate the home directories of our users onto a SNAP
Terabyte server. The issue I am having s one of preserving ownership on
hte files and directories.
This is what I have tried:
I have mounted the terabyte server into /mnt/snap using NFS and Samba (not
at the same time of course!).
1. Used cp -dpr - copies the files and directories OK, but gives
'Operation not allowed' when trying to set the ownership.
2. tar -cf /mnt/snap/filename {home directories} then tar -xvf on the
resultant file, again it create the directories but gives errors such as
Cannot change ownership to uid 6209, gid 6209: Operation not permitted
when trying to set the permissions, I have confirmed that the uid and gid
correspond to the relevant user in /etc/passwd
I can't see nay log entries to indicate any other issues.
Any clues appreciated
