So if I remove the SGID, will it change existing files?

I think I recall that the output of "ls -ld /data" should show an "s" in the group permissions if the SGID is set. That part seems clear to me!

I feel a bit confused about the exact command to set the SGID bit. Is it definitely "chmod g+s" or could it be something else?

This question seems similar to one we did in class about setting permissions. I think the SGID bit allows new files to inherit the group of the directory, right?

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the specifics of the SGID bit and how that affects file/directory ownership. I'll need to review that concept before attempting this.

Hmm, the metadata seems to indicate the spatial reference is the same, but the data is misaligned and appears too small. I'm thinking it could be an issue with the datum or linear units, but I'll need to double-check the details.

Exactly. And to remove the SGID bit, we use 'chmod g-s directory'. It's important to verify the permissions using 'ls -ld /data'.
