    Hello,

    I noticed today that I could not set ownership on a new folder… always shows _unknown for user and group. I ran diskutil info against the volume which shows ownership: disabled. Is there any reason ownership should be disabled on a RAID with active shares? I’m stumped as to how this may have changed.

    Do you think I would cause any issues if I enable ownership on this volume?

    I also noticed that vsdbutil is deprecated in 10.5, however it seems that diskutil does not have the feature to enable ownership until 10.6. Shall I still use vsdbutil to change this?

    Thanks,
    Ken Edgar

    I’ve had some luck with the following (per diskutil’s manpage):

    diskutil enableOwnership /Volumes/VolName

    While it still shows as 

    Owners Enabled: No

    in Disk Utility, it shows as 

    Owners: Enabled

    when running:

    diskutil info /Volumes/VolName
