CLOSED: Greyhole not distribute files

Yes, I found a couple of useful links:
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Basics
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Linux-hda_commands

Still cannot change permission under my 1st amin so I would try to do land zone moving on another internal partition instead of external hard drive.

What are you trying to do? What command did you use?

[caizizuofang]

Initially I was trying to migrate landing zone from root partition to external hard drive. But I found so many limits that I can't even change ownership there. So I used symbolic link but looks like it's not functional. Now I want to try to move landing zone to another internal partition.

[bigfoot65]

Ok. Not sure I understand why you had difficulty changing ownership. Should not matter what drive or partition. Maybe you did not use the correct syntax. I presume you did it as root, not sudo.

[caizizuofang]

bigfoot - You probably just reminded me of the syntax. I was using

sudo su -

I thought this would take me to right root user. If this is incorrect what's the right syntax?

[bigfoot65]

The correct syntax is:

Code: Select all

su -

Then enter the root password.

Code: Select all

sudo su -

I suppose you could use this syntax as well, but I always use the former with Fedora.

UPDATE: I read where using sudo su - does not provide a clean root environment as su - does. Not sure how true this is, but I have always used su -.

[caizizuofang]

I remember I asked a similar question. Then I tried su - but always get this warning:

Authentication Failure

but sudo is working.

[bigfoot65]

That means you didn't set a root password when you installed Fedora.

Are you getting an error when you try to change permissions?

Yes. I did. That's the pain in the butt...Can I catch up now?

[bigfoot65]

Don't understand what you mean by catch up.
