Restoring directory and subdirectory permissions/ownership
Newbie here, again.
I made a mistake the day and set a directory ownership to chown -R user1:Other on directory Level1 thus making it
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 user1 other 512 Jul 11 2013 Level1
The original ownership was set to root:root
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Jul 11 2013 Level1
but within that directory, about 3 directory levels down, there are multiple subdirs of files with various owners as seen below and I need to restore them.
Just to give you an example of what it SHOULD look like the information below is that from the second node of the cluster which still has it's correct permissions and ownerships set
ORIGINAL
Code:
NODE1:root@/var/Level1/Qmail/postfix$ ls -ltrh
total 28
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Jul 11 2013 corrupt
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Jul 11 2013 flush
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Jul 11 2013 hold
drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postfix 512 Jul 11 2013 maildrop
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Jul 11 2013 saved
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Jul 11 2013 trace
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jul 31 2013 pid
drwx------ 18 postfix root 512 Aug 23 2013 defer
drwx------ 18 postfix root 512 Aug 23 2013 deferred
drwx--x--- 2 postfix postfix 512 Mar 13 08:21 public
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Mar 13 08:21 private
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Mar 21 12:00 incoming
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Mar 21 12:00 bounce
drwx------ 2 postfix root 512 Mar 21 12:00 active
i want to know if there is any way to somehow export the directory and subdirectory ownerships/permissions from one node to duplicate it onto the other.
I've looked into using getfcal and setfcal but it doesnt seem to worth with multiple subdirectories.
Any assistance is appreciated.. Just trying to keep from having to set them all manually. |
