We (myself and a few other GPFS people) are reading this and considering... Of course we can't promise anything here. I can see some ways to improve and make easier the job of finding and changing the ACLs of many files. But I think whatever we end up doing will still be, at best, a matter of changing every inode, rather than changing on ACL that all those inodes happen to point to. IOW, as a lower bound, we're talking at least as much overhead as doing chmod on the chosen files. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
