Ownership disabled on RAID with active shares?

[kennyj]

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):
[code]diskutil enableOwnership /Volumes/VolName[/code]
While it still shows as [code]Owners Enabled: No[/code] in Disk Utility, it shows as [code]Owners: Enabled[/code] when running:
[code]diskutil info /Volumes/VolName[/code]
