After a forced reboot a particular folder in my home directory is owned by nobody
. I am trying to change that to root
but I get the following
chown: cannot read directory ‘databases/’: Permission denied.
This is the command I sudo chown -R root databases/
and this is the permission of the folder:
drwxrwx--x 36 nobody nobody 4096 Jul 9 08:10 databases
How can change the ownership?
mount | grep home
? This will allow use to check the filesystem type as well as confirm it's not mounted read-only.
