[comp.os.minix] Minor problems with Minix

gph@unh.UUCP (Gerard P Hickey) (10/06/88)

Greetings Netland!!

I have a couple of problems that I hope someone could help me with.

     1.  For some reason when I do a chown on a file, the group is not changed
         on the file. If the file is copied, the group changes. 

     2.  I am having a problem trying to compile programs. I come up with
         disk errors at block 353. I have recompiled the system a couple of
         times, so I doubt that it is a bad disk. I even tried the original
         /usr disk and it also gets the same errors. I have no real ideas on 
         this one, exept that it seems to be in the lib directory. I think I 
         tried to cat end.s once and couldn't, but I can now cat it.

 
I am running version 1.2 on a Tandy 1000 SX with 640Kb and 2 drives. 

Thanks in advance.

"some reason" being that it's not supposed to. chown changes ownership,
chgrp changes group. the destination file will be owner by you, and in your
group after a cp, but the source file won't change.
