Why doesn the Solaris/Linux command chown work on home directories, when it appears it should?
ZFS permissions are much more granular to allow control of files and subdirectories at various levels. Although each individual owns the files in the DCShome home directory, the right to change ownership (Take Ownership in Windows terminology) is not granted to individuals. The operating system will prevent you from re-assigning ownership by returning a “Permission denied” or “Operation not permitted” error message.
