Operating Systems AIX Files without owner and group Post 302915860 by manjusharma128 on Friday 5th of September 2014 06:57:23 AM

Hi Cobra, Gull and All,

I faced the same issue on my server long back ago.

I'll just explain it with example:

->There is one file system that coming from Window server and mounted on your Unix server:

test01:/mountpt 2657.59 2415.88 241.71 91% /apps/mountptdr

->Where test01:/mountpt is the share path that is coming from window server and /apps/mountptdr is the directory that on you AIX server.

->Now if you try to go inside the path /apps/mountptdr and try to compress all files & dir under this path. All files and dir ower and group will change.

->The reason behind it the actuall path is coming from window server.

->If you will go to test01 server and /mountpt share path there you can see the same files & dor that was under path /apps/mountptdr on AIX.

->AIX are not the acutal ower & grp for compressing or tar file & dir.

->If you want to compress files without changeing its ower and group. Change from Window server side.

->I am sure whther we can change back the ower and group from AIX to previous ower and group.

->In your case, please first check the rqw mount point from where it is coming. Then try to login indie that server and try to compress the files and dir from there.

->I think this information will be sufficient for you to resolve your issue.Smilie

Thnaks & Regards

mkfontdir(1X)															     mkfontdir(1X)

NAME
mkfontdir, fonts.dir, fonts.scale, fonts.alias - create an index of X font files in a directory SYNOPSIS
mkfontdir [directory-name...] DESCRIPTION
For each directory argument, mkfontdir reads all of the font files in the directory searching for properties named "FONT", or (failing that) the name of the file stripped of its suffix. These are converted to lower case and used as font names, and, along with the name of the font file, are written out to the file "fonts.dir" in the directory. The X server and font server use "fonts.dir" to find font files. The kinds of font files read by mkfontdir depend on configuration parameters, but typically include PCF (suffix ".pcf"), SNF (suffix ".snf") and BDF (suffix ".bdf"). If a font exists in multiple formats, mkfontdir will first choose PCF, then SNF and finally BDF. The first line of fonts.dir gives the number of fonts in the file. The remaining lines list the fonts themselves, one per line, in two fields. First is the name of the font file, followed by a space and the name of the font. SCALABLE FONTS
Because scalable font files do not usually include the X font name, the file "fonts.scale" can be used to name the scalable fonts in the directory. The fonts listed in it are copied to fonts.dir by mkfontdir. "fonts.scale" has the same format as the "fonts.dir" file. FONT NAME ALIASES
The file "fonts.alias", which can be put in any directory of the font-path, is used to map new names to existing fonts, and should be edited by hand. The format is two white-space separated columns, the first containing aliases and the second containing font-name pat- terns. Lines beginning with "!" are comment lines and are ignored. If neither the alias nor the value specifies the size fields of the font name, this is a scalable alias. A font name of any size that matches this alias will be mapped to the same size of the font that the alias resolves to. When a font alias is used, the name it references is searched for in the normal manner, looking through each font directory in turn. This means that the aliases need not mention fonts in the same directory as the alias file. To embed white space in either name, simply enclose it in double-quote marks; to embed double-quote marks (or any other character), precede them with back-slash: "magic-alias with spaces" regular-alias fixed If the string "FILE_NAMES_ALIASES" stands alone on a line, each file-name in the directory (stripped of its suffix) will be used as an alias for that font. FILES
List of fonts in the directory and the files they are stored in. Created by mkfontdir. Read by the X server and font server each time the font path is set (see xset(1X)). List of scalable fonts in the directory. Contents are copied to fonts.dir by mkfontdir. List of font name aliases. Read by the X server and font server each time the font path is set (see xset(1X)).
