I tried this and it came up with
ls -la

drwxr-xr-x  root root linux

Then
chown -R cjohnson /home/cjohnson/server1/linux
chown : changing ownership of '/home/cjohnson/server1/linux': Operation not
permitted

Oh dear, my head is beginning to hurt...
Can I change the ownership of a folder that is within the mounted structure.
eg if I mounted //server1/linux at /home/cjohnson/server1 and //server/linux
has a folder called downloads can I use chown on that or do I have to change
permissions from the server1 console?
