checking permissons on logical volume. 2

How do you check the permissions on a logical volume. Trouble is, I am getting "tar: The getwd subroutine failed. Cannot open the parent directory" when I try to create a tar file on the lv (/archive).
ls -al show the permissoms as 755 and owner/group is sam:sam (user). The tar works when you are root. What am I missing? the lvarchive is a logical volume off of rootvg.

Please post the exact command line you are using with current directory value, preferably in the shell command prompt.

Do ls -ld <directory name> to check the directory permissions.
Also, paste the commands that you are executing. It seems very vague right now and hard to troubleshoot.

You guys were right. It was a permissons issues. Did a lsuser sam and found he was missing the "sam" group. Added this group to the "sam" user and all is good.

Thanks guys for getting me on the right path
