Chgrp Problem
 

1) i greated group "financegrp", then i created a folder as "finance" in
opt directory.

2) now i would like to change the group owner ship of folder finance to
financegrp.

3) i type following command,

chgrp -R financegrp /opt/finance/
it gives me following error,

chgrp: changing group of '/opt/finance/' : Operation not permitted
chgrp: changing group of '/opt/finance/hello/' : Opertaion not permitted

* hello is the file in the finance folder.

I am doing all this as a superuser(root)


What could be the problem ??

What's the output of
mount
?

Which mount ???

I am asking about chgrp problem ??

Wondering about the mount flags for opt,
and its filesystem. If root can't chgrp the flaw
must be somewhere in the underlying functionality
rather than with chgrp (I'd think).
