I have traced one of my troubles to one of ownership of a directory and it's contents. MySQL requires ownership of the data directory. This I found out the hard way.

I ran 'sudo chown -R' on the directory in question on that NAS, but after I did so, Linux still seems to think that root still owns the directory and its contents. Why? And how should I fix this?

Hi chown will work if smb.conf on the NAS allows it. Do you have access to smb.conf for that directory on the NAS? Does the NAS have a control panel for the samba shares maybe? Post smb.conf if you can. HTH L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
