I am trying to change ownership of a domain user home directory, which is mounted over nfs. Current user/group for that folder is nobody/nogroup. The following chown command is issued from "root" user shell. But I am getting permission error. How to resolve this ?
sudo chown -Rv VANILLA\\userone:VANILLA\\domain^users /lhome/VANILLA/userone
chown: changing ownership of `/lhome/VANILLA/userone': Operation not permitted
failed to change ownership of `/lhome/VANILLA/userone' from nobody:nogroup to VANILLA\userone:VANILLA\domain^users
My OS is Ubuntu LTS 12.04 32 bit.
