Dear users/developers/support,
I'd like to ask if there is a fast way to manipulate the permission mask of 
many files (millions).

I tried on 900k files and a recursive chmod (chmod 0### -R path) takes about 
1000s, with about 50% usage of mmfsd daemon.
I tried with the perl's internal function chmod that can operate on an array of 
files, and it takes about 1/3 of the previous method. Which is already a good 
result.

I've seen the possibility to run a policy to execute commands, but I would 
avoid to execute external commands through mmxargs, 1M of times; would you ?

Does anybody have any suggestion to do this operation with minimum disruption 
on the system ?

Thank you,

    Alvise
