Subject: [9fans] u9fs CD installation
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 04:27:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980421032734.OjFsH2ANudDEOSgch4FMM4yNP1MnvRke27eOOKHyKeY@z> (raw)

I have been tinkering with installing my CD distribution on
on a Unix based file server using u9fs.

Everything seems to work, except that the files all end up
owned by 'none', which is not ideal. I have verified that
fchown is called and always succeeds, but it is always
passed the sime user.

Anyone have any ideas? I am not really sure how the installation
program is supposed to set install things with the correct
owner, given that the Wstat documentation explicitly states that
file ownership cannot be changed...

Regards,
DigbyT
