I use sshfs to mount a remote folder from another server to the local server. Mounting the remote folder works without a problem using the following command:
sshfs -o allow_other someServerFromSSHConfig:/home/data/somefolder/ /some/local/folder
The problem is that I cannot change the owner of the files using chown (regardless of root permissions) I always get:
chown: changing ownership of ‘/somefolder/file.img’: Permission denied
The user that accesses the folder is member of the fuse group. Even if I add additional mount options in sshfs to set the owner as userx:groupx
I cannot change permissions using userx
and using chown -R userx:groupx [...]
I expect to be able to set user permissions for files in mounted folders but this is not the case.
