You might remember my bringing up a lot of questions about dealing with huge numbers of inodes to support an application we use.
Well, now that application has another interesting need.
They are starting to use NIS on a bunch of the application servers and so have the change the UIDs on MILLIONS of files and directories on our F840. Obviously the usual methods (chmod, chgrp) are exceedingly slow for something like this.. we could be at it for weeks.
Can anyone suggest a method to change the uid and gid on massive quantities of files/directories more quickly?
Thanks! Tom
