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 ?

    Thanks all for your input !

    So yes /sdcard was /storage/emulated/0 and it’s a real sd-card.

    That was indeed formatted as FAT, I reformatted into EXT4 (from a desktop Linux) put the SD-card back into the phone and started the phone.

    Ive tried (in the phone)

    su
chmod 777 /storage/emulated/0 #yes it's still mounted as emulated !
stat /storage/emulated/0
#...
#Access: (0771)
#....

    So I’m still blocked… any ideas ?

    Thanks.
