My daughter loaded a bunch of vacation pictures [du -h shows 5.7G} on to my Linux nfs server from her Mac portable via our wireless LAN last night.
I can see that the files are there but I can't view them directly, in fact I can only list directories part way through the tree and they are long directory names!
However although I can't view them as root either I can copy the files to this computer and view the images with gthumb. The owner changes in the copying process which appears to be what makes them accessible to me.
I don't quite understand how this all works, I've messed with owners and groups before when I observed this problem without success. I certainly don't want to copy all those files to this computer just to look at a few pix.
For example: [bobg@box9 ~]$ ll /mnt/srvr2/HOLIDAY-SanFRANCISCO-24Aug-3Sep-2009/04-Holiday-27-Aug-2009/ total 108 drwxrwxrwx. 2 nfsnobody nfsnobody 106496 2009-09-04 19:01 00-ADJ-MuirWoods-Sausalito-Coastal-Redwoods How do I deal with the owner "nfsnobody?" Any help appreciated ...
