Hi all,

Recently we have procured a Filer 720. We are facing a strange problem. Though I am the owner of a file or directory When i try to change the ownership of the file or directory or if i try to copy the file to some other directory. It gives the following errors

bhaskarg@sahadev$ chown babuk:users quota.txt quota.txt: Not owner bhaskarg@sahadev$ ll quota.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 bhaskarg users 1137 Feb 29 10:29 quota.txt bhaskarg@sahadev$
