Additionally, if the file system claims that chown() succeeded when it in fact did nothing, then that would be a bug in the file system driver, to be fixed by the kernel folks (that is, it is not coreutils' job to detect whether the chown() syscall has a buggy return value for your file system). -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Wed Oct 10 15:08:03 2018 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 10 Oct 2018 19:08:03 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:43839 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1gAJpz-0007Dj-6y for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 10 Oct 2018 15:08:03 -0400 Received: from mail-pl1-f174.google.com ([209.85.214.174]:43602) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1gAJpy-0007DD-Hf for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 10 Oct 2018 15:08:02 -0400 Received: by mail-pl1-f174.google.com with SMTP id 30-v6so2965150plb.10 for ; Wed, 10 Oct 2018 12:08:02 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20161025; h=to:from:message-id:date:user-agent:mime-version:content-language :content-transfer-encoding; bh=nDpJyljaP4/8ApatU1nd+fzd1XwPh0fswskJtpV1y2U=; b=LXEZk94+1cTAoAFWyMygRtbcj1+iiLuyEq6MuI2bxb4IleTAUNHVhaYF6UodENFy+F gAIiQpetKpWcRjgUVBdnchZfWh0MvoCQQMHbfYYYm9EHJXMiz11aBaPA+Jfnl+0DtcoD VqW12J7uB01sBF1WnIeNsRU8f0dasAdLIcp3C8AQyj1ndd61nuvJCFwclaKGipwi9/Sj 5RCoaUJp3+l0ZPLsEJ3NBQVM6NllpmygpKdY5AfbSLmjRtFGOIh8Y/gou411dpzlcPiV J9yCIPmg0fAjRlVnLMCQIVrnNQE5p9qqndn2A96GTQ8jPGeOR992edDgNsjX/feLGiiJ mQ8A== X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20161025; h=x-gm-message-state:to:from:message-id:date:user-agent:mime-version :content-language:content-transfer-encoding; bh=nDpJyljaP4/8ApatU1nd+fzd1XwPh0fswskJtpV1y2U=; b=Yz4yXdur2I1etgNjG1LtUVOtEPqtpY575d/sV89wm6/urPKKBUtxCVA6npxKs9ORaF g/CZRfsZ8lxNufNNoPJRaTuENPTWkGbeOtBe4W4vh8V+x0vb9k+byhP0vULVkB9Oftwc dWcE1ax/WJymFMaClMVx6m/3dR3XcbbMdfz5bB43PW2DcUgwmoeTyfGpLcJw42rQ2FEP oNmcEv0jgDr/eQV91cNxJH0neYORQvgiodD0rDXeZJPue+6rHpwHlY2Jy7rJoykm2JdM AeO98ZQelK2LgNzOmShNAlVF50vL52OxQ556d31jD7hSRx5MrMk0WKMhgHks6znWQ1Bb 72IQ== X-Gm-Message-State: ABuFfogwca4z7mJHqhpux2GuDhEZFJM4AA8pvlVEQc68DdNNuXERExlr DQ6Xnds9fjHEI9rpP5y4tSbGrdwcBys= X-Google-Smtp-Source: ACcGV62lJlTI5b+AfJqc3e6znUJnzbxW2d4znzg7l+ExAaNygAVJSO/8dCEZ2DL+fK9KVb+dz4+p/g== X-Received: by 2002:a17:902:9a4c:: with SMTP id x12-v6mr728349plv.92.1539198476166; Wed, 10 Oct 2018 12:07:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tomato.housegordon.com (moose.housegordon.com.
