#filepermissions — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, look! Another riveting tale of digital impossibility where the protagonist is too busy battling file permissions to get anything done. 😴🔒 Because evidently, the world desperately needed another 1614-word snooze fest on OpenBSD's #chflags, told with all the excitement of watching paint dry. 📜💤

For some reason, my /mnt directory was changed as owned by my user and my group with rwx------ permissions.

I have no idea why and when and how this happened, but I figured out because I mounted a disk there to install Arch on a different drive, and pacman ended up failing inside the chroot, as there were issues with permissions. Very weird.

Rethinking the content of my blog and decided to also start writing more beginner-friendly articles.

Feedback and boosts welcome 👍

@dmerej Thanks for confirming my lack of confidence in filesystems not native to Linux.

Actually my new drive is exFAT. I dug a bit and found Arch sees all permissions granted on every file on the drive. Also, stat -f shows the actual cluster Block size: 131072, which wastes a ton of space for things like tiny Node modules! (All the other disk info commands show 4096, which is definitely wrong!)

So I've set up a separate little EXT4 SSD for the 'systemy' parts of my backup.

Does anyone else have experience setting up #git in a #SharedEnvironment? What did you do for #FilePermissions?

I have a recurring problem with multiple users working on the same #remote codebase, in particular with #git. Because git is creating and deleting files at each stage of the game, shareable #FilePermissions get lost each time someone uses git. Any ideas on the best way to manage this?

Handy tool for finding the right permission #chmod code.
