Maybe a system glitch or a chown bug so just fyi.
Intention: change root:root to root:users on dir struct
command: sudo chown -R root:users /run/media/user_name/long_disk_number/*
( so mounted through /run/media but an internal disk i.e. no
external usb, or such )
chown went happily on its way but with a message in between:
chown: changing ownership of ‘/run/media/rest_/of_/path_/filename ':
Operation not permitted
Puzzling, but no time to look into it immediately.
After sys power off ( and later on again ) I did an
"ls -hal" on that specific file: it had become root:users after all;
surprisingly !
It seems your message was lost and not replied to in 2 years.
Sorry about that.
If this is still an issue for you, can you provide more details,
in particular what is the file system on /run/media ?
