I tried to chown a file to root, that I own, But my machine says I'm not permitted. I've googled a bit and found a few topics that say chown is a root only command. But others say that's not true. Am I doing something wrong?
pi@raspberrypi /media/usb1 $ whoami
pi
pi@raspberrypi /media/usb1 $ ls -laxo
total 8
drwxr-x--- 2 pi 4096 Jul 30 09:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root 4096 Jul 29 12:52 ..
-rwxr-x--- 1 pi 0 Jul 30 09:29 lol
pi@raspberrypi /media/usb1 $ chown root lol
chown: changing ownership of `lol': Operation not permitted
