The device probably has a FAT32 fs. This doesn't support users/groups/permissions. Either don't try chgrp or put another fs on the device that does support these operations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The flash drive is formatted as vfat, which does not support permissions. Either reformat it (ext3, reiser, xfs), or change the options given to rsync so that it doesn't try to keep the permissions. This was commented on list some time ago, search for "rsync" or read the manual. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

If I make a .tar archive and copy that to a vfat drive then copy it back to the hard drive and untar it, does that keep permissions? Thanks, Lynn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. Usually, that is. And it is far slower than rsync. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

100% yes. Something in the installation of iso's, even in the vfat system, can use permisions because they set up the permisions correctly on the install. Additionally the live CD's also have permisions and there has been an extention to the dos file system for a decade that immitated Unix file permisions and name extensions. Ruben

Thanks, Lynn
Yes, because then the permissions are stored within the tar file and not the vfat file system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
