Hello everyone

 

I'm transferring a couple of websites from a Linux box (SuSE 8.1 - file
system: reiserfs) to a recently configured FreeBSD 5.3 machine.

 

To move the files I physically removed the hard drive from the Linux box,
installed in the FreeBSD machine and used Jean Sebastien Pedron's "ReiserFS
for FreeBSD" to mount the drive.

 

I expected read-only support for the reiserfs drive, but was able to copy
everything across to the FreeBSD drive.

 

So far so good - but the copied files have permissions -r-xr-xr-x under
FreeBSD and I'm stumped on how to change the permissions so I can update the
website.

 

Logged on as root: "chmod 777 .." just gives an "operation not supported"
error message, and I can't find anything in the docs or online which gives
any obvious way forward or work around.

 

Many thanks for any bright helpful suggestions, pointers to appropriate man
pages, etc

 

Charles B
