The current permissions of above directories:
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 1024 Mar 17 18:15 /
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 512 Jul 8 20:01 /space
drwxr-xr-x 5 root other 512 Jul 10 18:57 /space/storage
drwxr-xr-x 3 root other 512 Jul 9 21:19 /space/storage/jsmith
(the last directory initially was owned by jsmith, but I read somewhere that all directories should be owned by root. But the result of both scenarios was the same)
