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.
Thnaks & Regards
