Is there some weird magic about Documents folders on Windows systems? Doesn't make any sense to me...
You are asking the question the wrong way. You are also not telling us some things. First: what type of file systems was it at the windows end? Second: how was it mounted? Old fashioned MS-dos era Windows FS doesn't have permissions and the permissions Linux sees is set by the way the FS is mounted. See MAN(8) section FILESYSTEM-SPECIFIC MOUNT OPTIONS - Mount options for fat and also MOUNT.CIFS(8) After reading that you should see how to mount the Windows FS so that the fiddling with permissions from the mount point down is unnecessary. My apologies if you know this or if it is already in the way your autofs is set up. I recall learning this 'the hard way' myself a couple of decades ago. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
