I just added a new secondary drive to enlarge the /usr/home file system and it is working as expected for the most part. The part that has me confused became apparent when a cron-driven script in one of our user directories successfully ran but produced this warning: mv: ./testfile: set owner/group (was: 1003/0): Operation not permitted The script did the following: It created a file in /tmp and, like any such file, it's ownership looks like owner:wheel. If you mv that file back to your user directory, the mv used to happen silently but still retain the owner:wheel permissions. Now, I do get the file back in the user's directory with permissions of owner:owner instead of owner:wheel and I get that warning. I figure it might be in the way I mounted /usr/home /dev/da1s1 /usr/home ufs rw 2 2 or maybe I made some subtle change to /usr or /usr/home, but they look like they do on every other FreeBSD system I can look at. drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 Mar 12 12:36 usr drwxr-xr-x 28 root wheel 1024 Apr 15 20:02 home What else might cause this change in behavior?
