How can i change ownership of a directory and user ?

Thanks

You've not stated how you're failing to change ownership, but I'll say that on Isilon the only user which can change ownership is root. So you require one of:

1) root on the Isilon CLI

2) An SMB share with "Run as root"

3) An NFS export with root access

Cheers,

John

You can configure the cluster to allow an owner to give away ownership of a file to another user.

Oh really? That's not something I've come across before...

# sysctl -d efs.bam.chown_unrestricted

efs.bam.chown_unrestricted: Allow non-privileged file owners to give away ownership

This is a bool value 0/1. As long as you are the owner you can give it away but you can't take it back.

Well, that policy seems reasonable, it's like that in real life too...

Presumably it still wouldn't match Windows' file ownership policy though.

Make sure the folder has "std_write_dac" permissions listed for the user, then the user can do the chown command.
