[SOLVED] slightly odd linux choice question

plbowler · 03-22-2010, 06:26 PM

debian:/mnt/net/flac/gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16# touch /mnt/net/flac/gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16/gd74-06-18d1t01.flac
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/net/flac/gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16/gd74-06-18d1t01.flac': Permission denied

That solves that I guess!
I assume this is a CHMOD then

EDIT: or not..
I guess my next question is how to change permissions, I tried CHMOD 777 and got a 'Permission Denied'
I also went into windows for the two drives that are mounted and unchecked the "Read Only" box. i then unmounted and remounted that drive and still "permission denied"

1. Try to touch that file as root (after su -).

2. Check file permissions for gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16 directory and gd74-06-18d1t01.flac file (ls -l /mnt/net/flac/ and ls -l /mnt/net/flac/gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16/).

3. Check the owner of /mnt/net/ directory (ls -l /mnt).

Report here the results.

after poking around I think I should mention that I mounted using smbmount with no modifiers

In my opinion your present problem exceeds the boundaries of the present thread.

Look at the + sign at the end of drwxr-xr-x+:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x+ 2 999 root 0 2010-03-19 18:02 gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16

It means your directories have set ACL (access control list). To set it use setfacl and to get it use getfacl.

I never used ACL so I don’t know whether it can cause problems with permissions for user root. As I know root have all permissions everywhere.

Now look further at 999 owner and root group of the file. 999 isn’t the name of the registered user. To change it use the command:

Code:

chown -R root.root *

As I guess in the present situation chown command will refuse to work.

***

I suggest you to start a new thread named “Possible problems with ACL”.

At the beginning skip to /mnt/net/flac/ directory.

Then put the results of all those commands (including the commands as well):

Code:

whoami
pwd
cat /etc/fstab
ls -l gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16
ls -l gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16/gd74-06-18d1t01.flac
touch gd74-06-18.sbd.miller.89690.sbeok.flac16/i_am_here

If you’ll decide to close that thread don’t forget to click “Thanks” buttons in all posts you feel were useful for you. Then skip to the top of the page and select “Thread Tools | Mark this thread as solved”.

yeah, good call. Thanks

Actually you guys probably answered the thread title in the first three posts, but i alwys try to visualize posts from the stanpoint of someone searching for help long after I'm gone.

Let me try your suggestions then I will close this thread and start a new one if needed.

EDIT: setfacl and etfacl are invalid commands

chown -R root.root *
still permission denied.

I published my post in the wrong thread. Now I moved it to the correct one. I'm sorry!
