I cannot run chown even as a sudo command...Same error... What is root squashing? I am reading on the internet that it is very common not to allow users to change the ownership of files...

Hi,
I am trying to setup my galaxy system to allow jobs to be submitted as the real user, since people want to keep an eye on their job on the cluster sometimes and they have no ideas which ones are theirs…
I tried the approach on the wiki here:
http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster?highlight=%28...
but unfortunately, the CHOWN command is not allowed, not even as a sudo user… Probably has to do with the fact that we run our cluster from an isilon system, which I assume is pretty typical…
The job was actually successfully submitted as the intended user, so that part works, but if we can just get it to work without having to rely on chown that would be awesome…
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Hi Thon, If you run the command from the command line, what results do you get? /usr/bin/sudo -E scripts/external_chown_script.py /mnt/ngs/analysis/svcgalaxy/galaxy-test/database/job_working_directory/000/148 svcgalaxy 10000 Note that external_chown_script.py can be modified as necessary to allow you to change ownership in whatever way is appropriate for your site. Since it should just be an NFS mount, as long as root squashing is not enabled and your svcgalaxy user has sudo permission to run this script, it should succeed. --nate
Here’s the error…
