Hi,

I would like to change the owner of a directory on the sdcard /sdcard/aDirectory

I have a terminal installed on my Android 10 (LineageOS 17) com.android.terminal

sudo is not present so I use su and it works.

su
#Terminal was granted Superuser rights

cd /sdcard
chown 10:10 aDirectory
#I don't get any error message.

stat aDirectory
#Uid (0/root)

So the owner stay root no matter what I’m doing, any ideas ?

    Nine times out of ten, running chown on Android is an astronomically bad idea. 10 times of 10, what you’re trying to do right now, is an astronomically bad idea.

    What is it you are trying to do?
