Hi! I'm running 2.1.7 RELEASE#0 on a P166 machine. Whenever I 'mv' a file from one file system to another, I get this error/warning message: mv: /target/filesystem/filename: set owner/group: Operation not permitted The file is moved successfully though. mv'ing files within the same file system doesn't producing any such message. The mv man page mentioned that "As the rename(2) call does not work across file systemf, mv uses cp(1) and rm(1) to accomplish the move..." Is there anything I can do to avoid the said error/warning message? Thanks for any pointers. Regards, N. Fung
