Hi,
We have a Netapp using shared NFS/CIFS. Yesterday several accounts became owned by root. Users couldn't even cd to their homes via NFS, though from the Windows side all looked OK.
As root from the administration server I couldn't access their directories either. I thought of restoring from .snapshot but those directories (nightly.o, etc) are also onwed by root and are inaccessable from the Unix side.
The only way to allow access was to use SecureShare from the Windows side and change ownership from "root" back to the username.
Files & subdirectories appear to be owned by the user but the Unix permissions are all set to 777, and they can't access these files/directories. I could reset them via SecureShare (and did so for 2 users) but they won't be what the user(s) originally set them to.
Ontap: NetApp Release 6.1.2D1 Filer: F740
Anyone have an idea how I can restore the original ownership & file permissions other that restoring from tape.
