If you use robocopy I used the following switches:
/MIR /e /copyall /r:0 /w:0
/mir is a dangerous one; make sure you understand it.. it might make your day go bad. Copyall copies perms PLUS ownership. Worked like a charm (at least for me back in the day).

Subject: Re: 7MTT CIFS Question
Your clone and delete plan is likely your best option. It does indeed take forever but it's all behind the scenes assuming you are sharing the subfolder rather than the whole clone.

Hi all,
I am soon to be transitioning a large CIFS share (5tb) from 7-Mode to CDOT and during the migration I would like to use the opportunity to split the share into several more manageable volumes.
My initial thoughts were to use robocopy, but there are potentially permissions issues.
Another method I’m exploring is to use 7MTT to mirror the volume, then once complete, create flexclones, 1 for each of the shares I would like to split out. Then delete the no longer required data from each respective share and vol split before deleting the master.
Firstly, am I missing some simpler way of doing this? systemshell maybe?
Secondly, if not, then is there a quicker way of deleting 20m files from each of my 6 shares? Maybe an on-filer way of destroying the folders? So far using command line tools (del, rmdir) still take far too long.
Many Thanks in advance,
Chris.
