#6182: Strange owner and group in Terminal ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: oxoocoffee | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: File Systems/BFS | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: chgrp chown | Blockedby: Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- I am running GCC 4 Hybrid R37017. Not sure if this is BFS file system problem or chown chgrp util. After downloading groff tar.gz I try to uncompress it with tar -zxvf groff-1.22.1.tar.gz onto /User/Projects (second BFS partition). After uncompressing I see that running ls -l shows drwxr-xr-x 1 1000 users 4096 Jan 9 groff-1.22.1 Now running chgrp -R root groff-1.22.1 and than chown -R user groff-1.22.1 changes it to drwxr-xr-x 1 user 4294267295 4096 Jan 9 groff-1.22.1 now running again chgrp -R root make it as drwxr-xr-x 1 4294267295 root 4096 Jan 9 groff-1.22.1 back and forth. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6182> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
