Hi Chaps,

Bit of a random question.

I have to change the permissions on a whole root level folder and filter them down etc... Normally this wouldn’t be a problem and its click, click and click and its done. Now I can do this process using the same method, but want to get this all done in one weekend.

However, this folder does not sit on a physical volume. It’s Tiered over 2 NetApp CIF’s shares and a HP NAS Server using a Acopia ARX500 to present the data as a logical volume.

The root folder in question is roughly around 20Tb in size and its on logical volume on a tiered storage system.

So using the normal method of change permissions in windows GUI takes a year and a day and often crashes the box. I know xcacls.exe is another method for doing this but i have never used it.

What would be the most effect solution for this problem?

Thanks

Andy
 
Yea i did think that.

20TB overnight i think its a bit too much for our backup system.

Thanks
