Your initial message seemed to indicate that files were arriving as owned by user1 (as you wanted). And I think you wanted files created by any other users to that space to be virtually chowned to user1 as they transferred. Did I get that right? What I'm not sure about is where the files get owned by user1. On the server, on their own machine, or in multiple places? And with another message, you mentioned some mounting parameters: >> in the client fstab i have >> #test to set the client nfs/mount >> 192.168.1.45:/cloud_crawl /cloud_crawl nfs defaults 0 0 -o uid=600 -o gid=600 Firstly, I *think* you may be doing that backwards (I suppose it depends which way the files are going). If you're trying to change ownership on files going onto the server, then on the NFS *server* try to squash ownership down to your desired ID, with the NFS exports configuration (see the man page about all_squash, anonuid and anongid), rather than mount options (of which some of the options can only be applied to certain filesystems). Secondly, check that "defaults" does what you want (that the defaults are the defaults you think they are). -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
